Results in brief

Renewable systems engineering for waste valorisation ΙΙ

The main project goal is to advance the emerging area of Biorefineries-systems engineering (BSE) and particularly investigate the role that BSE can play on waste valorisation and, thus, circular economy. The main project objectives are: - Expanding the knowledge for value chains across feed-stocks, products and industries. - Investigating the area of knowledge management for the effective communication across the diverse academic research scales and industrial applications. - Applying the existing RENESENG tools, models, methods, know how as well as the newly developed in this project to emerging topics of bio-economy and links to circular economy, with special focus on various forms of “waste” biomass (e.g., MSW, glycerol, lignin). The importance for the society of these objectives is very significant. Biorefineries are the emergent new chemical industries that integrate biomass conversion processes to produce fuels, energy, and added-value chemicals. The objective of a biorefinery is to optimize the use of resources and minimize wastes, thereby maximizing benefits and profitability. Industrial biorefineries have been identified as the most promising route to the creation of a new European biobased industry.

Project objective

The project goal is to further advance the emerging area of Bio - process - systems engineering (BPSE) by capitalizing the recent advances and ITN of RENESENG (FP7 - PEOPLE - ITN) toward the following project objectives :- Expanding the knowledge for value chains across feedstocks, products and industries, e.g., by looking into the potential of MSW (including food waste) energy chemicals nexus.- Investigating the area of knowledge management (i.e., data structures, workflows, protocols) for the effective communication across the diverse academic research scales and industrial applications (i.e., lab to unit operations, toprocess and plant design, to business development, sustainability assessment).- Applying the existing RENESENG tools, models, methods, know how as well as the newly developed in this project to emerging topics of bioeconomy and links to circular economy, with special focus on various forms of “waste” biomass (e.g., MSW, glycerol, lignin). Enhancing the network with new aca demic and non academic partners and significantly contributing via meaningful secondments to the career development of ESR and ER.
