(TU Delft Circular Product Design) van der Meulen, Thomas Hajonides (TNO) Bastein, Ton (TNO) Swamy, Siddharth Krishna (TNO) Saraswati, Novita (TNO) Date 2020 Abstract A significant part of wind energy in the Netherlands is generated by offshore wind farms at sea. In the coming decades, the number of wind farms will be scaled up in line with current energy transition and sustainability objectives. What happens to these wind turbines when they reach the end of their operational life? What volumes of material are involved? How can we prevent an adverse impact of this dismantling on the environment? What forms of economic activity may result from this removal task? This report investigates the material flows, activities and future outlook for decommissioning of offshore wind until 2050.
