Accelerating Wind Turbine Blade Circularity
Wind turbine blades are made up of composite materials that boost the performance of wind energy by allowing lighter and longer blades with optimised aerodynamic shape. Today 2.5 million tonnes of composite material are in use in the wind energy sector globally [1]. WindEurope

Unleashing Europe’s offshore wind potential
windeurope.orgUnleashing Europe’s offshore wind potential - A new resource assessment 9 WindEurope - BVG Associates EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The offshore wind industry is moving fast from a niche technology to a mainstream supplier of low-carbon electricity. There are 12.6 GW of offshore wind operating in Europe.

FLOATING OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY
windeurope.orgAround 80% of the offshore wind resources is located in waters of more than 60 meter depth, where bottom-fixed offshore wind (BFOW) is not economically attractive. In addition, average wind speeds are higher and more consistent further from shore. This means floating offshore wind farms can produce more energy throughout the year and have high

Blyth Demonstrator Phase 1 becomes the first wind farm to be decommissioned in the UK removing 2 turbines of 2 MW each after 19 years of operation.
Floating Offshore Wind Vision Statement
windeurope.orgthe wind blows stronger and its flow is more consistent. By using FOW, developers can make use of larger areas avoiding wake effects from nearby wind turbines or other wind farms. Also, larger wind turbines that will be developed in the near future, for example 12-15 MW, can be installed on FOW substructures. The combination of larger wind
