Turning wind into energy @ Evonik
Renewable energies are the key to sustainable power generation and wind energy plays an integral role in our clean energy future. According to the calculations of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC), wind power systems release the lowest amount of CO2 equivalents per generated kilowatt hour of electricity over their lifecycle.
LISTEN TO THE EXPERTS
We talked with politicians, associations, universities, our customers and other leading wind energy experts from across the globe to show the goals, needs, benefits and challenges of delivering affordable, reliable and sustainable wind energy for all.
