Automated wind turbine blade manufacturing from Laminated Veneer Lumber, offering a renewable, carbon-neutral alternative to traditional materials, lowering production costs and environmental impact.
78%
of wind turbine blades are never recycled
45% of greenhouse gas emissions come from product/material production and use, and by the year 2050, 50 million tons of blade materials will pose a considerable challenge.
Glass and carbon fiber are difficult to decompose and recycle, and 78% of blades result in being buried. Costly molds limit replacements and long supply chains increase the environmental impact, with blades accounting for 12% of wind turbines' carbon emissions.
Voodin Blade's Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) is the solution to replace current steel and fiberglass wind turbine technologies.
The LVL provides structural strength, dimensional stability, and high load-bearing capacity while allowing 99% material reuse and recycling, cutting out the resource waste and lack of sustainability associated with traditional wind turbines and their disposal.
99%
biodegradable material
This solution reduces environmental impact by adopting more sustainable production methods and materials combined with a comprehensive end-of-life strategy.
The use of LVL turbines presents a climate change impact that is a mere 22% of that associated with conventional blades Impacts related to fossil depletion, human toxicity, and water depletion, compared to traditional blades, are reduced to, respectively, just 26%, 18%, and 10%.
By adopting Voodin Blade's technology, manufacturers can significantly reduce their carbon footprint, thanks to the considerably lower climate impact of the automated production process and the fact that the blades themselves store CO2.
The utilization of Laminated Veneer Lumber allows for a 99% material reuse and recycling rate. Additionally, there is a price reduction of approximately 20% with 82% less human toxicity.
