2nd Annual Wind Blade Materials And Recycling Forum

Wind turbine blades are challenging to recycle due to the composite materials used in their production. As a significant proportion of the installed EU wind fleet will come to the end of its lifetime between 2020 and 2030, the wind industry is required to deal with the challenge of how to dispose of rotor blades.

Bringing to you, a conference set aside to discuss the advanced and composite materials associated with recyclable wind turbine blades and challenges surrounding it’s production, including various manufacturing effects that may in turn hinder it’s durability and sustainability.

Wind energy is a green energy, this also in the meaning of end-of-life. Therefore, OEMs and their customers see now, after the first large wind farms are de-commissioned, a huge amount of plastic trash upcoming, which will get larger quickly.

In Europe’s most mature markets for wind energy the first turbines are reaching the end of their operational life. The number of blades that have been decommissioned so far remains low. But it will increase over the coming years. We expect around 25,000 tonnes of blades to reach the end of their operational life annually by 2025. Germany and Spain will see the highest number of decommissioned blades, followed by Denmark. Towards the end of the decade Italy, France and Portugal will also start to significantly decommission blades and the annual decommissioned volume could double to 52,000 tonnes by 2030. Today, around 85-90% of wind turbines' total mass can be recycled and have established recycling practices in place. Wind turbine blades are more challenging to recycle, largely due to the composite materials used in their production/configuration. In 2021, the European Wind Industry called for a Europe-wide landfill ban on decommissioned wind turbine blades by 2025.

2nd Annual Wind Blade Materials And Recycling Forum will discuss about various challenges faced by industries looking for solutions such as recycling and advanced materials produced and organized which will aid various manufacturers to design and produce high quality and durable blades while being cost.

Attendees from various parts of the world and different career professions seeking to collect knowledge and solutions surrounding wind turbine blades will gather in the Advanced Materials and Recyclable Wind Turbine Blade Forum to discuss how wind blades pose some significant and threatening environmental challenges as they become damaged or unusable. The forum will also discuss the environmental growth protection which will be achievable with the recycling and reusing of wind turbine blades.

This inspiring strategic forum is organized by Leadvent Group, set to provide a medium for a rich exchange of ideas and views on innovative solutions and untapped resources to the various issues relevant to engineers, scientist, technicians and interested individuals on recycling of wind blades and their advanced materials to tackle ad reduce carbon emission to the atmosphere.
