Although most turbine parts can already be reused, the blades are more difficult. This is due to the resin, which is fused with fiberglass and carbon to form the structure of the blade. Only when exposed to a combination of high temperatures, high pressure, and special treatments does the resin dissolve. This consumes a lot of energy and is thus costly. Furthermore, the quality of the various materials degrades as a result of these extreme conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Novel resin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Siemens Gamesa\u2019s RecyclableBlades employ a novel resin that dissolves when the blade is immersed in a heated, slightly acidic solution. This separates the resin from the blade\u2019s parts without seriously damaging them. The glass and carbon fibers, as well as the wooden parts, plastic, and metal, can then be reused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vattenfall\u2019s first project to use them is Hollandse Kust Zuid 1-4. The blades are scheduled to be installed in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vattenfall and BASF will use Siemens Gamesa RecyclableBlades on the Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm.
