Re-Wind: Reuse and Recycling of Decommissioned Composite Material Wind Turbine Blades

Science Foundation Ireland / National Science Foundation (US) / Department for the Economy (NI)

Jan 2018 – Dec 2021 | UCC Budget: €319,831 

UCC Principal Investigator: Dr Paul Leahy | Co-investigators:   Dr Gerard MullallyDr Niall Dunphy

 

The Re-Wind project is a response to a challenge of end-life-life management of non-biodegradable blades found in current wind turbines in a sustainable manner. The project takes an innovative multidisciplinary approach, to compare sustainable end–of–life reuse and recycling strategies for these composite material wind turbine blades.
