New Venture Will Make Wooden Blades For Wind Turbines

A venture between German start-up Voodin and Sweden's Stora Enso will manufacture turbine blades of laminated veneer lumber, including an LVL blade that will measure 80 meters long. The goal of the partnership is to provide an innovative solution to replace "less environmentally friendly materials" with renewable products made from wood.
