Project description
Green alternative to traditional waste management
Mountains of plastic waste, discarded tires and biomass pollution are pressing environmental concerns. Traditional waste management methods, like landfill and incineration, exacerbate these issues, leading to irreversible harm. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the HYWAY project is developing a solution with the synthesis of hydrogen-rich syngas from low-cost carbon sources. By doing so, the project not only offers a green alternative to traditional waste management it also fosters international collaborations. The project brings together seven Member State universities and companies, along with eight institutions from Australia, China and Japan, to design carbon-neutral, scalable pathways for converting waste into sustainable fuels. HYWAY’s comprehensive approach includes training, workshops and industry events.
Objective
HyWay aims to synthesise hydrogen rich syngas from low cost carbon source, and eliminate the environmental issues from conventional waste management (e.g. landfill or incineration). HyWay advances the state-of-the-art in carbonaceous waste management especially plastic waste, waste tires, waste biomass and crude glycerol for hydrogen production. The overall aim of the HyWay is to establish long-term consolidated research collaborations between the participating institutions with complementary expertise and knowledge to design and develop carbon-neutral, scalable, and socially acceptable pathways to sort and convert waste to hydrogen-rich syngas as part of next generation sustainable fuels. Through secondments, workshops, training, webinar series, and industry-focused events, HyWay produces multiple avenues for career development, cross-sectoral experiences, and academic training in a multi-cultural and interdisciplinary environment. Research results are translated into training materials, including formal academic and industry courses on waste sorting, chemical recycling technologies, process modelling, machine learning, techno-economic analysis and life cycle analysis for postgraduate students, early-stage and experienced researchers and industry; training tutorials for industrial and technical staffs; and creating the basis for developing academic textbooks for the wider research community and possibly in undergraduate module delivery. There is also a focus on transferable skills, with dedicated training activities specially designed to facilitate personal development, technological and communication skills. HyWay delivers through the effective collaboration of 7 member state/associate country universities and companies, and eight third country universities and companies from China, Japan and Australia.
