Wind Turbine Recycling Gets $5.1 Million Boost
program, the prize aims to help the country develop a cost-effective and sustainable recycling industry for two high-impact categories of wind turbine materials: fiber-reinforced composites and rare earth elements.
About 85%–90% of the mass of a wind turbine is made of materials that can already be commercially recycled. The bulk of the unrecycled materials is composed of fiber-reinforced composites . These materials can be found in various forms in wind turbines, including the blades and the cover for the hub that connects the blades to the wind turbine.
, such as rare earth elements , which do not currently have domestic commercial-scale recycling options.The Wind Turbine Materials Recycling Prize aims to expand the nation’s ongoing efforts to advance wind turbine materials recycling, such as NREL’s thermoplastic resin research for wind turbine blades.
The prize also seeks to promote collaboration among wind energy entrepreneurs, inventors, researchers, and experts from DOE’s national laboratories, such as NREL, to accelerate the development and commercialization of wind turbine materials recycling technologies.Interested in Participating?
