Wind turbine blades End of Life through Open HUBs for circular materials in sustainable business models

风电行业的可持续循环经济需要解决风力涡轮机叶片的寿命终止问题，优先考虑环境因素，并公平地分担努力，以克服所有关键参与者之间的技术，经济和社会障碍。为此，EoLO-HUBs将开发3个开放中心，共同设计、共同创建和展示新技术、组织结构、商业模式和法律的建议，以根据不同欧洲地区的需求实施CE。知识中心将把利益攸关方联系起来，就类似的举措进行有效合作，分享数据，推广良好做法，在项目期间和之后复制成功案例。另外两个中心将建立一个大规模的示范，涵盖WTB再利用和再循环的整个价值链，从拆卸到通过有效的废物回收解决方案在重型复合材料行业实现价值提升，同时代表了EoL复合材料在风力技术中的具体需求。陆上枢纽将包括实施零污染和移动的系统的必要性，用于在不危害环境的情况下拆除陆上技术，最大限度地回收油漆和涂料，并实现化学构件的可回收性（溶剂分解）。多部门和离岸中心将包括调整当前大容量复合材料回收技术（热解）的必要性，以与其他部门合作的零废物方法获得高产量的rGF和cGF，并展示如何准备离岸技术的网关，以连接到回收WTB的新价值链。通过这种方式，EoLO-HUBs将与关键参与者建立长期合作，并获得相关的示范方案，以确保回收近90%的WTB材料，创造循环经济，创造就业机会，并在2030年前减少温室气体排放。

A sustainable Circular Economy in the wind sector requires to solve the End of Life problematic of the Wind Turbine Blades, prioritizing environmental factors and fairly sharing the efforts to overcome the technologic, economic and social barriers among all the key actors. To this end, EoLO-HUBs will develop 3 open hubs to co-design, co-create and demonstrate new technologies, organizational structures, business models and legal recommendations to implement CE according to the needs of the different European regions. The Knowledge Hub will connect stakeholders to effectively collaborate on similar initiatives, sharing data and spilling over good practices to replicate success stories during and after the project. The other 2 hubs will build a large-scale demonstration covering the full value chain for WTB reusing and recycling from the dismantling to the valorisation in heavy composite sectors through efficient waste recycling solutions, while specific needs of EoL composites in wind technology are representing. The Onshore Hub will include the necessity of implementing a Zero-pollution and mobile system for dismantling onshore technologies without jeopardise the environment and maximising the recovering of paints and coatings as well as enabling the recyclability of chemical building blocks (solvolysis). The Multi-sectorial and Offshore Hub will include the necessity of adapting current high volume composite recycling technologies(pyrolysis) to obtain a high yield of rGF and cGF in a Zero-waste approach collaborating with other sectors as well as to demonstrate how to prepare the gateways for offshore technologies to connect to the new value chain for recycling WTB. In this way, EoLO-HUBs will create a long-term collaboration of key actors with access to relevant demonstration scenarios to ensure the recycling of almost 90% of the WTB materials, creating a circular economy that generates jobs and reduce greenhouse gas emission by 2030.
