Decommissioning Inventory for Wind Turbine Blades Installed Until 2022 in Europe
Tóm tắt
Wind turbines (WT) components have established recycling routes. However, wind turbines blades (WTBs) composite materials present unique challenges for recycling. This study aims to develop a comprehensive decommissioning inventory of wind turbines installed in Europe up to the year 2022, with a focus on accounting for the end-of-life (EoL) mass of WTBs composite materials. The inventory provides an estimate of the total amount of WTB composite material that will need to be decommissioned in the coming decades, in terms of mass, mass rates, and volume. This estimate is further broken down by country, predicted decommissioning year, and blade architecture technology. To construct the inventory, data were collected on the total number of wind farms in operation, as well as those that are planned or under construction phase until the year 2022. The resulting inventory projects that over 7.6 million tons of EoL WTBs composite mass will need to be decommissioned in Europe by the year 2050.
