Wind Power Generation
Wind Power Generation
Renewable energy sources are seen as the key to reducing CO2 emissions that contribute to global warming, and wind power represents a promising and relatively inexpensive form of renewable energy.
With wind power enjoying widespread support throughout the world, the wind power industry has experienced strong growth in recent years.
Hitachi Zosen is closely involved in the design, installation (including land preparation) and operation of major wind farms facilities.
Features
- 1Wind farms that uses natural energy constitutes green power generation that contributes to reducing CO2 emissions.
