1. An assessment of circular economy measures in the construction value chain for offshore wind turbines
University essay from Lunds universitet/ByggproduktionAbstract : The construction sector is responsible for high energy consumption and large emissions of carbon dioxide, which is strongly linked to building materials. Within the European Union, the construction sector generates more than a third of all waste and circular economy is considered as a suitable approach to tackle these challenges. READ MORE

2. INVESTIGATING THE FEASIBILITY AND THE POLICIES FOR WIND POWER REPOWERING IN SWEDISH MUNICIPALITIES
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Transitioning to a low-carbon energy system includes deploying renewables such as wind power, which has been installed in Sweden since the 1980s. After a 20 to 25-year lifetime, a wind turbine´s end-of-life options come into play, therefore many of the turbines deployed in Sweden prior to 2011 will reach this mark by 2035. READ MORE

3. End-of-life wind blade recycling through thermal process
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskapAbstract : Renewable energy production with wind turbines has been rising in the last 30 years and it is a crucial technology, which is necessary for the energy transition. As sustainable as the energy production of wind turbines is, the waste management of the blade material is not. Most of the blades end up on a landfill or get incinerated. READ MORE

4. End of Life Wind Turbine Blade Recycling : Challenges From an Environmental, Economic and Practical Viewpoint
University essay fromAbstract : The goal of the European Union is to make strides towards a circular economy. This means recycling or re-using as much of the material in the economic system as possible. The wind industry faces a great challenge in the years to come as huge quantities of increasingly larger wind turbines reach the end of their service-life. READ MORE

5. Survey of Sweden’s installed wind turbine capacity and the country’s ability to handle future turbine decommissioning waste material
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The global market for wind energy is expanding rapidly, and in the last decade, Sweden has constructed thousands of wind turbines. The high installation pace suggests that a similarly rapid decommissioning rate is to be anticipated in the near future, notwithstanding the small number of turbines that have been retired thus far.
