Siemens Gamesa has developed the RecyclableBlade, the world’s first wind turbine blade designed for full recyclability at the end of its lifecycle.
Key Features of the RecyclableBlade:
- Innovative Resin System: The blade utilizes a novel resin that allows for efficient separation of materials upon decommissioning, enabling up to 95% of the blade’s components to be reclaimed and reused. Offshore Wind
- Commercial Deployment: The first RecyclableBlades were installed in 2021, marking a significant advancement in sustainable wind energy solutions.
- Collaborative Efforts: Siemens Gamesa has partnered with companies like RWE to implement these blades in offshoh as the Kaskasi project in Germany. Siemens Gamesa
This pioneering technology represents a substantial step toward Siemens Gamesa’s goal of producing fully recyclable wind turbines by 2040, contributing to a more sustainable and circular economy in the renewable energy sector.
