According with World Wind Energy Association all wind turbines installed by end of 2019 can cover more than 5% of the global electricity demand. Wind energy has a promising future but has to face some major challenges in order to gain competitiveness versus non-renewable energy and to guarantee a sustainable development.
As raw materials supplier to the wind industry we can support the whole wind value chain targeting these needs with innovative core materials with a reliable mechanical profile, including fatigue behaviour and controlled resin absorption.
With the aim to meet the needs of our customers, by using our deep experience in manufacturing and testing core materials, we also set a test method to model the resin absorption of our product based on commonly used procedures in order to analyse its environmental impact as final sandwich panel.
NMG Europe adopted Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), described in the internationally accepted EN-ISO 14040 series, as basis for environmental declarations and carbon footprint of NMG Europe products developed for wind sector: Atlas HPE 110 and Atlas F 60, for wind blade application, are the first foam of its kind to be granted with an EPD in The International EPD System and its net of mutual recognitions. EPD is a Type 3 declaration according to EN-ISO 14025 and it’s granted by verification of accredited 3rd part.
