In development

Vorselaar-Lille E34

Een project van 6 windturbines in de gemeentes Vorselaar en Lille, ten zuiden van de E34.

Projectoverzicht

Ons land heeft te maken met uitdagende klimaatdoelstellingen voor de komende jaren. CO2e-neutrale energie lijkt daarbij één van de belangrijkste bouwstenen te zijn. ENGIE wil overheden, steden en gemeenten hierin begeleiden en hen de mogelijkheid bieden om zelf lokale, groene stroom te produceren.

Storm, Ecopower en ENGIE hebben een omgevingsvergunningsaanvraag ingediend voor de bouw van zes windturbines in de gemeentes Vorselaar en Lille (provincie Antwerpen) ten zuiden van de E34. De windmolens zijn goed voor een jaarlijkse energievoorziening van ongeveer 19 700 gezinnen.

The vast majority of a wind turbine can be recycled: steel, electronic components, concrete from the foundations, and so on.

Do wind turbines emit more CO₂ than they save?

This question may arise when we look at the full life cycle of a wind turbine.

Do wind turbines cause environmental damage?

Every human activity has an impact on the environment, and wind farm projects are no exception.
