Market-Focused WebinarsApril 19, 2023 | 1:00 PM EST / 12:00 PM CST / 11:00 PM MST / 10:00 AM PST“Material Considerations Affecting the Future of Wind Energy”Starting from the current state of the art, this webinar will describe various technology options being contemplated by the global wind industry as potential solutions for key challenges. Potential future blade technology scenarios will be shown, along with highlights of their consequences related to the wind thermoset formulation evolution. The wind industry consumed around $2.5BN of thermosets in 2022, comprising epoxies and unsaturated polyester for structural load-bearing applications. The industry grows at an historical CAGR of 5-6% but must drastically expand production capacities along the whole value chain to reach the 15-17% CAGR needed for the wind industry to help the world meet net-zero emissions by 2050. In addition, the industry is committed to proactively addressing full raw material circularity for blades being decommissioned after their 25-30 years of service.
