A Dutch company has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by designing a 3D printed modular bridge that repurposes a decommissioned wind turbine blade as its main support structure. The Werkendam-based ...

Recycling massive wind turbine blades can be difficult because they're built from sturdy materials to weather the elements for decades. Researchers at Washington State University have devised a ...

Transporting wind turbine blades up windy mountain roads requires an advanced truck and some very skilled drivers. CIMC Vehicles recorded a journey up Baoding mountain in China which is 1,312 feet ...

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 ...

Earlier this week, an eagle-eyed local spotted two turbines at the Dundonnell wind farm in western Victoria missing a blade each, but owner Tilt Renewables insists it’s all part of the company ...

The U.S. now hosts over 157,000 wind turbines. If each tower holds three blades, and each blade’s weight is about 65 glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP), that’s a lot of plastic. Even if each ...

As wind turbines have increased in size and diameter of their blades, this has noticeably increased the speed of especially the blade tips. With more and more wind turbine blade tips now exceeding ...

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 ...
