ECPE PPF: Plastics2Energy

Overview

People Involved

Dr Sharif Zein

Project Description

The project will combine the feasibility element with an overall aim to produce hard data and evidence of proof of concept and then showcase and share this data with UK communities.
Funding is to be used for research and development testing of the use and pre-treatment of various plastics, on site testing, continual analysis of data, front and back end anaerobic digestion engineering in order to manage feedstock and output.

Status	Project Complete
Value	£30,000.00
Project Dates	Oct 1, 2019 - Sep 30, 2020
