Decarbonisation through cascaded utilisation
According to two external studies, the HASSLACHER Green Tower timber hybrid tower has the by far lowest carbon equivalent on the market of available wind power system towers. For one, the extremely low carbon equivalent is based on the tower construction itself, consisting of approx. 90% wood. Secondly, the low carbon equivalent is the result of the low volume of the tower’s foundations. In total, the minimal use of all materials further reduces the comparatively low carbon equivalent.
Wind power combined with circular economy
Through its recycling concept and its associated long service life, the HASSLACHER Green Tower timber hybrid tower makes a significant contribution to decarbonisation. First, the forest is reforested for a period of approx. 60 to 80 years. During this time, its trees sequester the carbon they absorb from the atmosphere. Whenever wood from trees is harvested for our timber hybrid towers, we ensure that new trees are planted to replace them.
Once the wind power system has reached the end of its life cycle, the timber elements are once again used for structural projects. At the end of a wind power tower lifespan, we offer our customers the option to sell back the wooden components of the tower to us. This can then be recycled and used in future timber construction projects. This way, we complete the material cycle and promote the sustainable use of resources.
