Ever wondered about a blade's anatomy? Even though almost everyone has seen?a wind turbine in their life, I am pretty confident that there won't be too many people outside our industry who have delved into its structure and composition. There's a reason why blades look the way they do, with their narrow tip and wider end. In fact, this is how we ensure maximum rotor stability?and strength?with the highest possible speed when generating electricity. The length of the blades directly affects the tip speed of the turbine. Here, we can apply a rather easy formula: The larger the rotor diameter, the bigger the output.? In blade manufacturing there are two techniques. The first being the so-called one-shot procedure. Here, all the separate building elements for producing the blade as a whole are placed altogether, set under a vacuum and infused with resin, so that all elements are embedded together in a single shot. The other, and more widely used, is the butterfly technique. In this case, the blade comprises of an upper and lower shell, which are manufactured separately and then carefully joined together. For both techniques, the materials inside the blade are stacked like a sandwich. While the manufacturing process has remained?conceptually?more or less the same over the years, we are seeing a constant improvement in the materials.?There is a focus on making the blades more environmentally friendly, thus making wind energy overall even more sustainable.?For example, some of the areas inside are usually filled with PET (polyethylene)?foam, which, being made from the same materials as plastic bottles, aids the blades’ recyclability. To fully tap into wind energy’s potential, we not only need its rapid expansion but to also make it as efficient as possible. We are seeing a lot of innovation and development, and I am sure that we are far from reaching the end of the line. I look forward to seeing what's still to come. What innovations do you think we can expect in the near future??

I had no idea that direct air carbon capture could be done commercially. I thought it needed subsidies. All the existing methods are: ?? High cost—hundreds of dollars per ton of CO2 removed. ?? Land intense -- big industrial plants, noisy and dangerous. ?? Geology dependent -- sequestering CO2 needs just the right geology. ? Energy pigs -- just when we have other power demands. Last week I interviewed Samir Adams, a tech entrepreneur who’s been on a mission to fix carbon capture from commercial first principles. He's spent years perfecting a revolutionary solution involving graphene-coated ceramic beads, yielding a low-energy, modular, and economically viable method—all without relying on market subsidies. ?? Check out the video in the comments and learn more about: ?? How graphene and amine combine to enable localized CO2 capture. ?? The biggest market for CO2, which is enhanced oil recovery ?? The role of AI to optimize CO2 capture. operations, and maintenance ?? Why this innovation unlocks new revenue streams. ?? Get curious about #carbonCapture, #sustainability, and #greentech.
