Abstract:
The main objective of this project is the experimental prototyping and industrial development of small-scale, transportable, and modular devices designed for the treatment and conversion of waste biomass into energy. These devices aim to handle a wide range of biomass waste, including both "wet" materials such as kitchen scraps (from canteens, hotels, etc.), slaughterhouse waste, fruits and vegetables market discards, animal manure, agricultural or agro-industrial residues, organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW), sewage sludge, as well as "dry" materials such as wood, non-recyclable plastics, or digestates unsuitable for composting. Key Advantages are : Overcoming the limitations of large-scale treatment plants and the logistics of waste handling, enabling "customized" and "on-site" systems to be installed directly where the waste is generated, reducing dependence on external waste disposal companies and high costs associated with waste transportation and disposal, producing valuable on-site energy, particularly highly efficient electricity (60%) through Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC), generating "green" energy with SOFCs, with no harmful gas or noise emissions.
