BusinessPhoto: HT WorldUS Firm Recycles Rare-Earth Metals from Old Wind Turbines
Paladin EnviroTech, led by CEO Brian Diesselhorst, is recycling rare-earth metals from retired wind turbines at MidAmerican Energy's Highland wind farm in Iowa. These metals, including dysprosium and neodymium, are vital for electric motors and reduce US reliance on China. Some turbines contain nearly a ton of rare earths worth about $100,000. The aging US wind industry offers a growing supply of these valuable materials.
