Bayer MaterialScience is establishing a global wind energy centre at its site in Otterup, Denmark, as part of plans to develop materials used in wind energy applications.
The company says “full details of the global wind energy competence centre have yet to be decided” but that it will work on reducing the cost of generating energy from wind turbines.
"This is an exciting step in the area of sustainable energy supply that will help open new horizons in the wind power industry. We have decades of experience in the field of advanced materials development and I am confident that with this specific focus we will be able to make a valuable contribution to this important industry sector", says CEO Patrick Thomas.
