ExoTechnologies and Venture Dynamics have launched a fully recyclable wind turbine, the VX175, using ExoTechnologies’ natural fiber-reinforced thermoplastic Danu composite. The turbine is designed for commercial and industrial rooftops, offering an energy solution for manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and multistory buildings. The turbine features a vane shroud design that accelerates wind capture, optimizing power capture and delivering up to 3,000-5,000 kilowatt-hours annually. The omnidirectional design can capture wind from all directions, making it suitable for various climates. The turbine is also quiet, with a level of under 40 decibels, and has a projected levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of €0.05/kilowatt-hour. The use of Danu reduces waste, CO2 emissions, and improves structural integrity, while enhancing wind responsiveness and durability. The VX175 is set to debut in 2025 and is expected to set a new standard in renewable energy efficiency and versatility.
