Offshore wind in Europe a ￡2 billion/year opportunity for composites

摘要

A REPORT commissioned by The Crown Estate, UK, and undertaken by BVG Associates, concludes that ￡2 billion will be spent annually on the manufacture of composite wind turbine blades for offshore wind farms in Europe by 2020. The report, Offshore Wind: Opportunities for the Composites Industry, also shows that annual composites demand in this market will reach 100 000 tonnes a year by the end of the decade.
