Destroying the wind blades of a generator costs tens of thousands
A new study led by the University of South Australia indicates tens of thousands of wind turbine blades will end up in landfill by the end of the decade unless end-of-life programs are established soon. The study, led by Professor Peter Majewski, highlights the challenges of recycling wind turbine. . Update, September 25: General Electric filed a lawsuit last week claiming that Global Fiberglass Solutions has failed to fulfill its promise to recycle thousands of blades. GE says it paid the company $16. In the UK, the volume already exceeds 100,000 tons per year. SSI Shredding Systems says its Dual-ShearM120 shredder is the answer to dealing with them at the end-of-life stage. Wind turbine blades are made from a combination of fibre glass, carbon fibre, balsa wood, foam and resin and typically last. . In Minnesota, Xcel Energy estimates conservatively that it will cost $532,000 (in 2019 dollars) to decommission each of its wind turbines—a total cost of $71 million to decommission the 134 turbines in operation at its Noble facility. Decommissioning the Palmer's Creek Wind facility in Chippewa. . The U.
