Project presented at Operation and maintenance 2025 event

The event gathered professionals and stakeholders from across the renewable energy sector to focus on the operation and maintenance of wind power plants, solar power plants, and energy storage systems. It served as a platform for exchanging experiences, exploring new solutions, and strengthening collaboration within the industry.

CompositeCircle ongoing activities aimed at building a value chain in the Baltic Sea region for the recycling of wind turbine blades were presented. Two complementary pathways were highlighted:

– Co-processing in cement kilns, where blades can be used as alternative raw materials and energy source.
– Solvolysis technology, enabling the recovery of resins and fibers for new composite materials.

The industry emphasized challenges at the beginning of the dismantling process:

– Road maintenance to facilitate transport of large blade components at their end of life
– The need for clear guidance on dismantling processes and the actors for further processing
– On-site size reduction of blades, while ensuring effective dust control measures to avoid spreading of particles into environment

CompositeCircle project aims to address those challenges by gathering information into a guidebook. Stay tuned for further updates as we continue developing solutions for the future of renewable energy.
