Building a wind farm to drive the fossil free transition also means looking at how it is built. At Bruzaholm, the concrete used for the turbine foundations helped cut CO₂ emissions from 270 kg/m³ CO₂ to 212 kg/m³ CO₂ compared to conventional concrete. By optimising both the concrete mix and the foundation design, we reduced emissions per cubic metre as well as the total amount of concrete needed. During construction, machinery and transport also ran on HVO100. We also used recycled plastic in cable ducts and foundations, helping reduce both material-related emissions and heavy transport. The construction phase is one of the most emission-intensive parts of a wind power project. This is why the materials and methods used matter too. By lowering carbon emissions when building energy infrastructure, our work towards fossil freedom shows that there’s a way forward.
