Wind is a clean, efficient, fastest-growing, renewable energy source, which is extensively
applied for power generation. The expected design lifetime of a wind turbine lies between …

The worldwide installed capacity of wind power currently stands at 743 GW to offset 1.1
billion tons of CO 2 emissions. However, extensive wind energy usage has led to the …

The application of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites has increased substantially in
recent years as a result of need for lighter and stronger materials. Currently, the reuse and/or …

Pyrolysis is a promising technology to reclaim glass fibers from end-of-life wind turbine
blades (WTBs), while the pyrolysis atmosphere has significant effects on the …

Offshore wind energy (OWE) is a cornerstone of future clean energy development. Yet,
research into global OWE material demand has generally been limited to few materials …

The purpose of this paper is to present an integrated joint application of Life Cycle Analysis
(LCA) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in order to evaluate the efficiency of different …

The 3R (reuse, recycling, and recovery) management of waste wind turbine blades (WTBs)
is becoming a hot subject, since it has a great practical significance to dispose the upcoming …

Transformation of waste into resources is an important part of the circular economy.
Nowadays, the recovery of materials in the most effective way is crucial for sustainable …

By 2050, approximately 43 million tons of wind-turbine blade (WTB) waste materials will
have accumulated, emphasizing the critical importance of effective waste management …

There is an urgent need to recycle glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) and carbon fiber-
reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites due to environmental challenges caused by …
