Making highly specialized copper products that pave the way for generating clean energy
The world needs new ways of generating, transmitting and storing energy and, for as much as this is a market of growth and opportunity, it is a market of immediate, urgent necessity.
Luvata is commited to doing all it can to help its partners in this sector make tomorrow brighter and cleaner than today.
- Over 40% of the energy used in most cities is used to heat or cool buildings and yet most buildings ignore the 1kW of solar energy that falls on every square metre of their roofs. Is that acceptable? No.
- Over half of the energy in every barrel of oil is used to extract and distribute the energy from the other half. Is that acceptable? No.
- While the wind is blowing and the sun is shining and the tides are moving, much of the fossil fuels we are burning is being wasted. Is this acceptable? No.
Enabling wind power to be a real choice
The projected growth rate of the global cumulative installed wind power capacity from 2020 to 2022 is expected to grow by around 9,0 percent per year. As a results, the growth rate of wind power should be enormous in the coming years.
The world’s biggest wind turbine manufacturers rely on generators from companies such as ABB. ABB is a leader in power and automation technologies. With about 115 000 people operating in around 100 countries ABB has a leading global share in this market. ABB works in cooperation with world-class suppliers and their chosen partner for many years has been Luvata. The high purity and excellent electrical conductivity of our oxygen-free copper in ABB generators, makes the most of wind-generated energy in a variety of applications.
This same technology and experience in generator production has also be applied to tidal power generators.
Unleashing the power within fusion energy
For decades, Luvata has been a trusted partner for businesses and researchers in the fusion energy industry. We are proud to have contributed to projects like ITER and are currently working with companies, institutes, and researchers all around the world. We are part of Finnfusion, which is community encompassing all Finnish players in fusion energy business, technology and science, and European Fusion Business Association.
Our oxygen-free copper and copper alloy products are used in fusion reactors and other high-tech devices due to their properties like high purity, heat removal and recovery, high conductivity, temperature resistance and strength. We offer customized products from copper and copper alloys such as Superconductors, OFE Oxygen-free copper products and Hollow conductors.
