Managing long-term environmental aspects of wind turbines: a prospective case study
by Per Dannemand Andersen, Mads Borup, Thomas Krogh
International Journal of Technology, Policy and Management (IJTPM), Vol. 7, No. 4, 2007

Abstract: This paper describes a method for mapping and mitigating the negative environmental impacts of wind turbines and provides an analysis of future removal and recycling processes of offshore wind turbines. The time horizon is up to 2050. The method is process-oriented and interactive with respect to the participation of the actors involved in this area. It recognises the dynamic, uncertain and rapidly changing character of wind energy and deals systematically with the future removal and recycling of wind turbines and future wind turbine technologies. The method combines life cycle assessment and technology foresight methods and integrates the perspectives of the present and the future.
