Results

Foreseen ECORES WIND solutions focus on the entire lifecycle of wind turbines, from manufacturing to decommissioning.

Key innovations include:

  • Circular Resins and Reversible Adhesives: These materials enable easy disassembly and recycling of wind turbine components, significantly reducing waste and CO2 emissions.
  • Advanced Manufacturing Techniques: We employ state-of-the-art methods like thermoforming, chemical recycling, and injection molding to create durable and recyclable turbine components.

Life Cycle Assessments (LCA): Comprehensive LCA, LCC, and SLCA evaluations guide our decision-making, ensuring that our solutions are economically viable and socially beneficial .

List of expected results

As project results will come to fruition, the solutions will be presented on this page. The list below includes expected results of the ECORES WIND initiative:

  • Sensor improved wind turbine MoM
  • Novel Remanufacturing capability for circular resins
  • Novel end-to-end analysis methods
  • Repair capability for circular resins
  • Novel strategy for decommissioning & disassembly
  • 3 tunned reversable adhesives & primers for circular resins
  • Chemical recycling and 2nd life (Reshaping&IM)
  • LCA, LCC & SLCA tools
