"This recycling method is scalable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly." Researchers reveal breakthrough fix for ...

At Ecowende’s initiative, Vestas is supplying red blades for a new trial at Hollandse Kust West VI, to investigate whether ...

A wind turbine blade proved to be too much cargo for the truck that was transporting it. While the truck negotiated a roadway maneuver, the blade said, "No thanks," and took the truck with it.

The wind turbine blade repair material market is projected to experience significant growth, with an estimated compound ...

Using glass fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRP) in wind turbine blades creates significant recycling challenges because GFRP is hard to break down and reuse. Unlike thermoplastics, which can be melted ...

The 450 megawatt (MW) Clarke Creek Wind Farm being built by Andrew Forrest’s Squadron Energy unorth-west of Rockhampton in Queensland has received its final oversize overmass (OSOM) delivery ...

A nearly 100-meter-long wind turbine blade, weighing 36 tons, is making its way along a steep mountain ridge at an altitude of 1,800 meters in Chongqing, China. Nearly $1 billion of DOGE ...

PULLMAN – A new method to recycle wind turbine blades without using harsh chemicals resulted in the recovery of high-strength glass fibers and resins that allowed Washington State University ...
