Wooden turbine towers: A highly feasible alternative

Wooden turbine towers: A highly feasible alternative

Mankind initially learnt to construct buildings with wood. Fast-forward to modern day and we have learnt to use materials such as steel and aluminum in construction. Conventionally, the wind turbine industry has been making use of steel to build its tall towers. But this trend may take a backseat in the near future.
A German engineering firm, TimberTower, intends to change the wind turbine industry with its wood-centric approach. The design proposed by the firm makes use of timber to create turbine masts and wood panels for the whole structure.
