The wind energy market has long been considered the world’s largest market, by volume, for glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites — and increasingly, carbon fiber composites — as larger turbines and longer wind blades are developed, requiring higher performance, lighter weight materials. The outer skins of wind and tidal turbine blades generally comprise infused, GFRP laminates sandwiching foam core. Inside the blade, rib-like shear webs bonded to spar caps reinforce the structure. Spar caps are often made from GFRP or, as blade lengths lengthen, pultruded carbon fiber for additional strength.
CAMX 2024 is right around the corner. Make sure to check out Part 2 of this two-part series highlighting some of the exhibitors you can expect to see in San Diego.
Eco Yachts is an Italy-based shipyard that will produce climate-neutral yachts and motorboats with third-party verification using rComposite fiberglass.
Engineer and manufacture of technologically challenging composite components for the 33-foot uncrewed surface vehicle will scale up Saildrone fleet capability, meet the demanding challenges of ocean mapping.
Alternative energy sources, such as solar, wind, and geothermal, are finally emerging as contenders alongside our primary electric-power-producing fossil fuels, natural gas and coal (but not oil), primarily because these technologies are ready for widespread distribution and adoption, based on average pricing for electricity.
In November, Vestas secured a 300-MW order for the Illinois-based Goose Creek Wind farm, and Minnesota Power doubled its wind energy proposal to 400 MW, projects which are aiming for 100% clean energy for each state by 2050.
More than reducing the electricity bill, companies can improve their work environment by including these GFRP tiles, which have high thermal resistance, on their buildings.
Three prefabricated, low-carbon homes, using Mighty Buildings’ large-format 3D printing and UV-curable resins, will be built in the San Francisco Bay Area as models for future industry developments.
The composites-intensive high-altitude platform station, Zephyr, will provide mobile connectivity and Earth observation solutions.
The grand opening of the company’s completed expansion increases the Morocco plant to 24,000 square meters, will meet growing demand for aerocomposites.
