Tiltable, liftable one-piece composite rotor design aims to withstand storm-force winds, boost energy yield and enable more ...

Researchers developed a process to recycle glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP), a common material in wind turbine blades.

But now, researchers at Washington State University have developed a new, environmentally friendly method to recycle wind ...

Most wind energy comes from turbines that can be as tall as a 20-story building and have three 200-foot (60-meter)-long blades. The wind spins the blades, which turn a shaft connected to a ...

A new method to recycle wind turbine blades without using harsh chemicals resulted in the recovery of high-strength glass ...

We4Ce, a Dutch rotor blade designer, has designed 10 rotor blade sets for Dutch wind turbine startup TouchWind for testing on ...

“We know that in the next 10 to 15 years, countries like Australia will have a large volume of decommissioned wind turbine ...

Wind turbines, essential to clean energy, typically last 20 to 25 years. This means that in the coming years thousands of blades will need decommissioning. Without effective recycling solutions ...

Wind turbines are a fantastic, cheap, renewable source of energy. However, nothing lasts forever, and over time, the blades of wind turbines fatigue and must be replaced. This then raises the ...

Until recently, wind turbine blades were nearly impossible to recycle. Now, one company is shredding the blades so they can be used as fuel in cement making. But is this the best way to deal with ...

A team of researchers at Washington State University has found a cleaner, simpler way to recycle wind turbine blades and turn ...
