520 |a"This paper reviews the existing recycling options for decommissioned wind turbine blades (grinding, cement kiln co-processing, pyrolysis, solvolysis, high voltage fragmentation, and refurbishment), as well as the utility of recycled composite fibres in industry, including the emissions profile deriving from the recycling methods themselves. The Canadian wind energy market is discussed, highlighting the lack of recycling facilities or infrastructure, despite the recent increase in wind farm installations countrywide. Decommissioning requirements for new Canadian wind farms lack detail on blade disposal plans. Several research pathways are identified and recommended to improve circularity and environmental outcomes..."--Executive Summary, page ii.
