GE Renewable Energy, COBOD and LafargeHolcim announced that they will partner to co-develop wind turbines with optimized 3D printed concrete bases, reaching record heights up to 200 meters. The three partners will undertake a multi-year collaboration to develop this innovative solution, which will increase renewable energy production while lowering the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and optimizing construction costs. The partners will produce ultimately a wind turbine prototype with a printed pedestal, and a production-ready printer and materials range to scale up production. The first prototype, a 10-meter high tower pedestal, was successfully printed in October 2019 in Copenhagen. By exploring ways to economically develop taller towers that capture stronger winds, the three partners aim to generate more renewable energy per turbine.
On Wednesday October 21, 2020, Jan Jenisch, LafargeHolcim CEO, spoke at the Business Insider Global Trends Festival on the topic of sustainability and how we are shaping a greener, smarter world that works for all.
With speakers such as Reed Hastings (Netflix), Sergio P. Ermotti (UBS), Christoph Franz (Roche), Carlos Watson (OZY Media), Nouriel Roubini (Roubini Macro Associates), and many other business leaders from Asia, Europe, the US, and the UK, this conference offered a truly global perspective of how COVID-19 has impacted business around the world and what the main global trends are.
Jan Jenisch spoke about our vision for our industry and how we are "Reinventing Construction for a Net Zero Future", the title of his speech.
