尽管市场希望建造更高的塔,但传统材料建造高塔的成本过于昂贵。额外的塔高压缩了利润空间,以至于能源生产商最终选择更矮、效率更低的塔。我们的解决方案采用工程木,它更轻但强度与钢材相当。这意味着额外的塔高不再伴随着昂贵的加固或维护。建造更高的塔最终变得更高效且更具成本效益。事实上,使用木质模块化方案,塔越高,优势越明显。

A Hacker News discussion revolves around a new "Tallest Wooden Wind Turbine" and its claim of "net-zero wind power." Some users question the premise, arguing that existing wind turbines already have a low carbon footprint, offsetting emissions in months. The conversation delves into lifecycle assessments, including manufacturing, installation, and disposal, and the importance of considering factors like recycling and rare earth mineral extraction. Debate sparks regarding nuclear power as an alternative, with discussions on its cost and political motivations, as well as the need for energy storage solutions like batteries. Several users highlight the complexity of grid management with variable renewable sources. Concerns about carbon emissions from the production and installation of the wooden turbine are also raised, and some propose reusing the wood for construction after the turbine's lifespan. The challenge of blade waste from wind turbines is mentioned, and the discussion shifts to potential solutions for recycling them. Ultimately, some view the wooden turbine as a step forward in sustainability, while others remain skeptical.

Although the market would like to build taller towers, the cost of building tall towers in traditional materials is too expensive. The extra height squeezes the margins to the point that energy producers end up choosing shorter, less-efficient, towers.

Our solution uses engineered wood that is lighter although as strong as steel. That means extra height no longer comes with expensive reinforcements or maintenance. Building higher finally becomes both more efficient and cost-effective. In fact, using a wooden modular solution only becomes more beneficial the higher you go.
