Nominee #2 – Modvion – Sara Woodgate, CM

Raising the bar for wind power — one wooden tower at a time.

What if one of our most high-tech energy sources could be built from one of nature’s oldest materials? Modvion is making that future a reality by constructing wind turbine towers out of engineered wood. Stronger than steel, lighter to transport, and with radically lower emissions.

By using laminated wood modules, Modvion's towers don’t just store carbon. They redefine how large-scale renewable infrastructure is built. Modular design means they’re easier to move, assemble, and scale. And because wood is a renewable material itself, the towers align perfectly with the goals of the energy transition.

Already installed in Sweden and backed by industry leaders, Modvion’s solution proves that high performance and sustainability can go hand in hand. It's wind power with a lower footprint and a higher purpose.
