Making wind power greener with compostable turbine blades

Geordie Torr
June 2, 2023

Researchers from the University of California, Davis, are working to develop compostable, ecologically sound wind-turbine blades from bamboo and mycelium, the fungal root-like system that bears mushrooms. Wind is one of the fastest growing sources of renewable energy around the globe and the expanding role of wind is largely good news. However, an environmentally sound…
