Renewable energy waste recycling
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2024.05.068-092
Abstract
By 2050, the world will have accumulated up to 60-70 million tons of used photovoltaic modules (PVMs), 43,4 million tons of wind turbine blades and up to 1 million tons of lithium batteries. Existing technologies and production capacities are not capable of processing these volumes, since the readiness of most of the technologies used is assessed as TRL3 - TRL8 and their economic efficiency is below the profitability level. The purpose of this work is to substantiate the need and calculate the amount of state support for the development of technologies for processing renewable energy waste. It has been determined that the amount of economic losses, in the absence of processing, will amount to up to $215 billion by 2050, including in the leading regions of renewable energy sources: in China $81 billion, in the EU $42 billion, in the USA $26 billion. The regional distribution of waste volume is shown, grouped by energy price level: 30% of waste in countries with the highest energy tariffs, mainly in Europe, 20% in regions with an average price, including all of North America, 50% in regions with the lowest price - the majority Asian countries. The dynamics of the increase in the number of patents for the selected IPCs for the period 2000-2024 was obtained, and the leading countries were identified. It is shown that the effect of state support for recycling will be obtained in two industries: firstly, a cost-effective industry for processing renewable energy waste will be formed, and secondly, the availability of scarce materials for renewable energy producers will increase.
