Although wind turbines generate electricity via an eco-friendly process, the giant blades of those turbines typically end up in landfills once they wear out. That could change, however, thanks to a ...

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 way to ...

Rapid carbothermal shock processing converts shredded wind turbine blade waste into high-purity silicon carbide and graphene, ...

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 ...

Many wind turbine blades in China are approaching retirement, and researchers have come up with a creative way to reuse the giant components. In a study published earlier this summer in the journal ...

Even though offshore wind currently makes up only 0.3% of the world’s total power generation, the market is poised for growth as many investors are encouraged by wind power’s rapidly declining costs.

The pieces of a broken Vineyard Wind turbine blade that are washing up on Nantucket beaches are not toxic to the surrounding area, according to an initial environmental assessment from Boston-based GE ...
