Objectives
The overall objective of this project is improving and enhancing energy production and safety in biocarbon value chains.
The sub-objectives are:
- Optimization of biocarbon production processes to maximize energy output and produce biocarbon with minimised hazardous properties
- Identifying and evaluating safety-related vulnerabilities and risks during biocarbon production, transportation, handling and storage for metal production
- Increasing fundamental knowledge through experimental and simulation studies on the safety-related issues to identify and investigate root causes and influential factors under industrial relevant conditions
- Developing, testing and assessing the effectiveness of measures to predict, detect and prevent safety-related issues throughout the biocarbon value chains considering different conditions and scenarios
- Proposing and developing guidelines and recommendations for assessing and evaluating technical, HSE, economic and environmental consequences and impacts of the main safety issues identified
- Increasing expertise on safe production, logistics and storage throughout the biocarbon value chains from biocarbon production to metal production processes
- Education of highly skilled candidates and training of industrial partners
- Monitoring of activities and state-of-the-art within this area and dissemination of results to the industry partners, and other relevant parties when applicable
