GIRAFFE EVOLUTION: V.I VS V.II

InnoVentum provides:Exclusive design to those who can afford

ART – INNOVATION – SUSTAINABILITY

…and affordable solutions to those who need – to the 1.4 billion people with no electricity

The Giraffe is our Exclusive Design product.How does the Giraffe work?

The Giraffe is a hybrid power station ready to charge anything from your e-vehicle to your home – by capturing energy of the wind and sun.

This futuristic yet natural construction comprises a wooden structure supporting solar modules as well as a wind turbine.

Smart positioning of PV panels in 12-20 different angles allows for stable energy production – providing solar energy during four (!) additional hours compared to a classic PV mounting

The Giraffe can be equipped with various wind turbine solutions from 1,75 to 3,5 kW

The solar panels provide power capacity between 4,0 and 5,0 kWp.

Giraffe: stable energy productioncomplementing solar with wind power

The Giraffe is able to produce 5 000 – 12 000 kWh per year even in countries with low solar radiation and moderate winds – providing power 24 hours a day, all year round

Giraffe V.1 vs V.II – Stronger & More Durable

Higher strength thanks to glulam enabling a bigger rotor turbine

Less reinforcement / wood needed to achieve higher strength

giving the V.II a more harmonious design

Stronger with less metal: long GL beam replaces bolt assembly.

Connections are less complex and more robust

Wood & CO2

Wood has the unique ability to capture and store CO2 while reducing carbon sources

There are two ways to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere:

  reduce emissions or “carbon sources”

  remove CO2 and store it - increasing “carbon sinks”

Wood has the unique ability to do both.

Each cubic metre of wood saves a total of 2 tons of CO2. Every cubic metre of wood used as a substitute for other building materials reduces CO2 emissions by an average of 1,1 ton CO2. If this is added to the 0,9 ton of CO2 stored in wood, we get a total of 2 tons CO2

Source: Tackle climate change, USE WOOD

Why Cutting Trees is Good?

forests which are left in a natural state. Younger trees, in vigorous growth, absorb more CO2 than mature trees, which will eventually die and rot, returning their store of CO2 to the atmosphere, while most of the CO2 of the trees harvested from a managed forest continues to be stored throughout the life of the resulting wood product.

InnoVentum always procures wood grown in sustainably managed forests.

CO2 balance of the Giraffe V.II

GGiirraaffffee VV..IIII:: -  Use of wood contribution, offsetting - 4700kg of CO2

-  Use of steel components, carbon footprint: 40 kg of CO2

  CO2 balance - 4700 kg + 40 kg = - 4,660 kg

Considerations: 1m3 of wood replacing steel offsets 1500 kg of CO2 (incl. transportation and processing of wood) 582 kg CO2 is emitted per ton of steel manufactured Density of steel: 7850 kg/m3

- 4,6 tons CO2

Conclusion: Giraffe - more than carbon neutral
