A global pioneer in sustainable energy solutions, Vestas, and supplier of coating solutions, Hempel is teaming up in a new strategic partnership to cooperate around innovative solutions for surface protection of wind turbines.
The joint Vestas and Hempel ambition is to reduce surface treatment costs and support sustainable coating solutions. At the same time, Hempel continues to assist Vestas in remaining competitive throughout the entire process of becoming CO2 neutral by 2030.

In Colorado, USA, Vestas is operating one of the world’s largest facilities of wind tower manufacturing. Here Vestas and Hempel take the first step of the partnership, as they will closely collaborate on bringing down costs and exploring new digital solutions to improve quality control and the CO2 footprint of the production of wind turbines.
Initial calculations demonstrate that changing the processes surrounding the surface treatment application will potentially generate a 60 percent reduction in CO2 emissions equal to 1,100 tonnes of CO2e per year.
