Grant Activity:
Recycling composite wind turbine bladesfor circular economy
Purpose:
Wind power is essential for clean energy worldwide and accounts for over 35% of Australia's green energy production. A major landfill waste stream from wind turbine blades (WTBs) (expected to be 30,000 tonnes by 2050) will be addressed in this project. IPM will collaborate with RMIT University and partners to develop a solvolysis co-processing treatment to recycle both thermoset resins and reinforced fibres in composite WTBs. The project outcomes include a pilot recycling facility equipped with a nationwide blockchain database of WTBs, a comprehensive life cycle cost and environmental analysis. The project also extends to complementary resources, such as tidal energy, for a complete circular economy model of the green energy sector.
