Towards the end of the project, the project team has prepared a press release with brief information on the project intentions, the work carried out and possible future perspectives in the context of the project and the industry represented.
The project has created an experimental plant capable of heating (gasifying) various types of refuse derived fuels – plastic, wood, paper and various biomass – at high temperatures, following the changes in the heating process, analyzing the materials and gases produced in these processes, and obtaining synthesis gas – a blend of reusable gases useful both as a fuel and as a feedstock for the chemical industry. The end products of the waste gasification process have been analyzed in laboratories to gain an idea of their potential for further use and to determine their potential environmental impact.
We are pleased that the information about the results of our project has created a wide coverage in the Latvian media space. The press release (in Latvian) has been published on the University of Latvia website, as well as on Diena.lv, LSM.lv, LA.lv, Skaties.lv, Forbes and other media.
