Redivivus Wind Turbine Blades | Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Gdańsk University of Technology

Research project within the Ventus Hydrogenii Redivivus program

Project title: Circular economy for wind turbine blades: developing a management system for the structural and architectural reuse of multi-composite material

Project Manager: Prof. Ph.D., D.Sc., Eng. Magdalena Rucka

Funds awarded: PLN 995,830

Project Objective:

Development of practical methods for recycling composite material obtained from end-of-life wind turbine blades, taking into account the following aspects:

• development of recycling methods with the lowest possible energy intensity,
• taking advantage of the high load-bearing capacity of the blade structure and giving it a new life by adapting the entire structure or its larger parts for other uses,
• solving the current problems of limited availability of construction materials.
