iXBlue SAS (France)
34 rue de la Croix de Fer
CS 70121 Cedex
78105 Saint-Germain en Laye
France
iXblue shipyard is the European leader in the construction of vessels in composite material. iXblue thus develops and builds ships that are ever more efficient, economical and environmentally friendly. By bringing its core expertise in composite material within the Fibergy project, iXblue aims at helping develop a more sustainable environment through greener renewable energy operations. iXblue’s know-how in composite material will indeed allow significant wind turbine weight reduction. Using composite material will also offer better performance throughout the windfarm life cycle by lowering maintenance costs due to the absence of corrosion. This will in turn limit the environmental impact of potential anti-corrosion treatments. Finally, the use of composite material will greatly improve the underwater acoustic signature of wind turbines by reducing vibration propagation, limiting the noise pollution that can impact marine species.
