Sustainability in the wind industry
The wind industry aims to further reduce the environmental impact from wind turbine manufacturing, operation and end-of-life. The goal is to increase climate performance and reduce use of virgin raw materials by keeping materials in use within a circular economy.
This leaflet introduces the wind power industry’s contribution to a sustainable transition, while also shedding light onto challenges the industry seeks to address in coming years, in collaboration with other sectors and the full wind value chain. The sustainability transition for wind power will benefit several other industries, including hard-to-abate sectors. Taking a leading position in decarbonization and circularity requires continued research and innovation to support the journey.
