The first six, 266-ft.- (81-m-) long RecyclableBlades have been produced at the Siemens Gamesa blade factory in Aalborg, Denmark. "The time to tackle the climate emergency is now, and we need to do it in a holistic way," said Andreas Nauen, CEO of Siemens Gamesa. "In pioneering wind circularity — where elements contribute to a circular economy of the wind industry — we have reached a major milestone in a society that puts care for the environment at its heart." Many components of a wind turbine, such as the tower and nacelle components, have established recycling practices. Until now, the composite materials used in wind turbine blades have been more challenging to recycle. The Siemens Gamesa RecyclableBlade breaks this mold and is the first of its kind, enabling recycling at the end of its lifecycle.
