Innovative Strategies Based on LCA for Wind Turbine Eco-Design: Overcoming Barriers to Enhance Sustainability

This study investigates life cycle thinking solutions for wind turbine eco-design by examining a leading manufacturer. It identifies critical barriers such as limited environmental awareness and poor value-chain data transparency. The research proposes new eco-design criteria, specialized team training, and improved data tools to reduce environmental impact across the entire turbine life cycle, from manufacturing to decommissioning.
