Wind turbine blades get a sustainable upgrade - EurekAlert
With a $2 million grant from the Department of Energy, researchers from Virginia Tech are pioneering processes to make wind turbines, essential for the largest producer of renewable energy, even more sustainable. The grant is part of a $72 million initiative to innovate manufacturing processes for wind technologies and create sustainable solutions for harnessing wind energy. The research team at Virginia Tech will be using new methods of additive manufacturing, computational design, and a recyclable, high strength thermoplastic material to 3D print wind turbines.
