FirmoGraphs recently shared an article with Renewable Energy World readers, discussing evolving regulations for wind turbine end-of-life management. Wind energy's positive environmental impact, contrast with challenges arising from disposing of turbine blades, made from hard-to-recycle composite materials. With over 72,000 turbines in the US and specific concentrations in states like Texas, concerns about proper disposal and recycling have sparked legislative action.
Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado are among the states developing regulations to handle wind turbine waste, focusing on decommissioning requirements and exploring innovative recycling methods. The evolving legislation reflects a need to manage wind turbine waste sustainably, acknowledging the long-term environmental impact and the importance of minimizing it for continued renewable energy growth.
FirmoGraphs actively monitors regulatory developments and policies nationally, in addition to tracking the progress of various projects and measures that impact its areas of interest. Unfortunately, it’s the easy part of dealing with the documents. The tough part is converting the information they contain to data and sorting it in ways that help you find projects that your company pursues. Our data is uniform and easily accessed in easy-to-use dashboards. FirmoGraphs provides the map, so we’re urging you to feel free to request a meeting, and review the data live in the BI.
