Plenary: Decommissioning – from best practices to regulation
European wind turbines manufacturers and suppliers sell their technologies on different markets across the EU. Cost- and resource-efficient decommissioning requires an industry-wide and international standard rather than specific national regulations. This session will address this issue and present the comprehensive document regarding best practices on decommissioning.

Decommissioning offshore
So far, only one offshore wind farm in Europe has been fully decommissioned. But many more will follow. This session will look at the timeline and volumes to be expected. We will also explore what the wind sector can learn from the Oil & Gas sector on this topic.

Plenary: Wind turbines sustainability and circularity
Mobilising all industries for a clean and circular economy is one of the key elements of the European Green Deal. This plenary will address how the wind industry can achieve sustainability. What are the current initiatives in place? How can we design wind turbines for enhanced circularity? What more is needed? The importance of life cycle assessments will also be discussed.
