Vestas Sustainability Product Offerings: Driving a Greener Wind Industry

Vestas, a global leader in wind energy solutions, emphasizes sustainability as a core pillar in its product and service offerings. By partnering with suppliers and investing in innovative technologies, Vestas aims to reduce carbon emissions and waste while delivering high-value wind turbine products to customers. Below is an overview of their key sustainability initiatives.

Blade Circularity: Pioneering Circular Economy for Epoxy Blades

• Innovation: Through the CETEC project, Vestas has developed a novel chemical process enabling circularity for epoxy-based turbine blades without altering blade design or materials.
• Value Chain: Collaborations with Nordic recycling expert Stena Recycling and global epoxy manufacturer Olin support scaling the chemical disassembly into a commercial service.
• Impact: This breakthrough signals the start of a true circular economy approach to blade lifecycle management for both new and existing turbines.
• Stay Updated: Vestas offers a newsletter providing pilot project progress, media coverage, and event updates on this initiative.

Low-Emission Steel: Cutting Supply Chain Carbon Footprint

• Partnership: Vestas teams up with steel giant ArcelorMittal to introduce low-emission steel for turbine towers.
• Significance: Steel and iron form 80-90% of turbine materials and account for about 50% of lifecycle emissions.
• Emissions Reduction: The new low-emission steel cuts CO2 intensity per kg by 66% compared to conventional steelmaking.
• Sustainability Strategy: This initiative complements Vestas’ broader efforts to reduce environmental impact from raw materials sourcing.

Zero-Waste Goals: Compost Recycling Technologies by 2040

• Vestas commits to achieving zero-waste wind turbines by 2040 through advanced composite recycling, focusing on both offshore and onshore turbine solutions.

Commitment to Action Over Offsets

Vestas pledges not to rely on carbon offsets; instead, it aims to deliver actual CO2 reductions through its sustainability initiatives and operational improvements.
