A few days ago, the French technology company Fairmat announced that it has signed a cooperative research and development agreement with Siemens Gamesa. The company specializes in the development of recycling technologies for carbon fiber composites. In this project, Fairmat will collect carbon fiber composite waste from Siemens Gamesa’s plant in Aalborg, Denmark, and transport it to its plant in Bouguenais, France. Here, Fairmat will conduct research on related processes and applications.
Based on the results of this cooperation, Fairmat and Siemens Gamesa will evaluate the need for further collaborative research on carbon fiber composite waste recycling technology.
“Siemens Gamesa is working on the transition to a circular economy. We want to minimize process and product waste. That’s why we would like to have a strategic partnership with a company like Fairmat. The solutions we offer from Fairmat and its capabilities sees huge potential for development in terms of environmental benefits. Carbon fiber composites will play an increasingly important role in the blade manufacturing process for next-generation wind turbines. For Siemens Gamesa, sustainable solutions are essential for the upcoming composite Material waste is critical, and Fairmat’s solution has that potential,” said the person involved.
The person added: “We are very honored to be able to give wind turbine blades a second life through Fairmat’s technology. In order to better protect natural resources, it is more important than ever to explore alternative technologies to landfill and incineration. This cooperation It provides an excellent opportunity for Fairmat to grow in this field.”
