Composite Materials in Wind Energy Today and Tomorrow – Pathways to 100% Circularity

The session will focus on the application of composite materials in wind turbine technology today and tomorrow. Experts from engineering, renewable energy, materials science, and sustainability experts will offer valuable insights into the complex ecosystem of composite-based wind turbine components. You will learn how composite materials can enhance turbine performance, increase energy production, and reduce maintenance costs, and how new material developments will enable easier recycling after the operational lifetime. Panelists will also address the challenges in the wind energy supply chain and how industrial policy can help scale up the supply chain and alleviate bottlenecks.
