Spanish energy firm Iberdrola has jointly established a company that will recycle components used in renewable energy installations, including wind turbine blades.<\/p>\n
In a statement last week Iberdrola said the company, known as EnergyLOOP, would develop a blade recycling facility in Navarre, northern Spain.<\/p>\n
“The initial objective will be the recovery of wind turbine blade components – mostly glass and carbon fibers and resins – and their reuse in sectors such as energy, aerospace, automotive, textiles, chemicals and construction,” the company said.<\/p>\n
EnergyLOOP has been launched by Iberdrola via PERSEO – its “international program for startups” – and FCC \u00c1mbito. The latter is a subsidiary of FCC Servicios Medio Ambiente.<\/p>\n
Iberdrola said EnergyLOOP would also have support from Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, a major player in the manufacture of wind turbines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
