6 FAQs about [Wind turbine blade procurement]
How will China deal with wind turbine blade waste?
Wind power supply chains are evolving as markets expand to reach climate goals. With the largest installed wind power capacity globally, China must deal with increasing composite turbine waste and anticipate its associated costs. Here we predict the quantity and composition of wind turbine blade waste based on historic deployment.
Should wind turbine blades be banned in Europe?
So the wind industry is calling for a Europe-wide landfill ban on decommissioned wind turbine blades by 2025. This means the industry commits to re-use, recycle or recover 100% of decommissioned blades. This landfill ban would accelerate the development of sustainable recycling technologies for composite materials.
Will wind turbine blades be repurposed in Ireland?
Repurposing is unlikely to utilize all of the blade material in Ireland. The industry body Wind Energy Ireland has estimated that a significant number of wind farms will start to be decommissioned in 2023.
