According to projections, the country will need to recycle 1.5 million metric tons of solar panels by 2030, and as much as 20 million tons by 2050, Recharge reported. By 2040, China is expected to have around 250 GW of photovoltaic modules and 280 GW of wind turbines that need decommissioning.<\/p>\n<p>China is the world\u2019s largest user and manufacturer of renewable energy equipment. According to Recharge, it has some 1,161GW of installed capacity. It is estimated that the country\u2019s wind and solar capacity will reach 3,300 GW by 2030. Wind turbines are 85%-95% recyclable, but the recycling of blades is challenging because they are made of composite materials, according to a report by WindEurope.<\/p>\n<p>In Europe, Danish start-up Continuum Group claims it has developed the technology to fully recycle wind turbine blades, while Spanish company EnergyLOOP plans to install its innovative blade recycling plant as early as 2024. Also in Denmark, wind turbine manufacturer Vestas has unveiled a chemical process capable of fully recycling existing blades. At the same time, Siemens Gamesa has installed the world\u2019s first offshore wind turbine with recyclable blades. The installation took place at German energy giant RWE\u2019s Kaskasi offshore wind project in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/balkangreenenergynews.com\/china-eu-hope-to-make-renewables-tech-recyclable-in-next-decade\/\">Balkan Green Energy News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-376\/\">China, EU hope to make renewables tech recyclable in next decade<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[758,575,274,1850,1815],"class_list":["post-116273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-china","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-eu","tag-renewables","tag-technology"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116273"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116273\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
