WINDS OF CHANGE
In the past decade, China has emerged as a world leader in wind
energy, with installed capacity of about 250 gigawatts. With
ambitious plans to become carbon neutral by 2060, construction
of both shore-based and offshore wind farms in China will
accelerate. At the same time, China’s Air Pollution Prevention and
Control Action Plan requires that industries replace solvent-borne
coatings with coatings containing low or no Volatile Organic
Compounds. As a pioneer in the development of waterborne
coatings, Jotun has strengthened its leading position as a total
solution provider to the wind energy market in China, providing
coatings for both towers and blades.
