Tree-inspired wind power foundation made through steel origami could reduce CO2 emissions by 80%
Swedish design and technology startup STILFOLD has unveiled a new design concept for the foundation of wind turbines, which could reduce the CO2 emissions generated during the construction of onshore turbines by as much as 80%.STIL FOUNDATION video: https://youtu.be/G6JnGGmyYXw The innovative new foundation design involves creating a series of long, curved beams out of recycled steel; and anchoring them to the ground in a design that mimics the way a tree's roots bury into soil. STILFOLD estimates the method could significantly reduce the environmental
