Tyre Recycling Pyrolysis for producing oil with less than 0.2% sulphur content, low cost sulphur impregnated carbon for reducing mercury air emissions, with simultaneous elemental (SULFREE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Feb 29, 2016,
SULFREE offers a complete, end-to-end process for ELT recycling, which breaks down tyres to valuable productsthat can be reused by the EU tyre industry; instead of merely recycling them either as tyre crumb or as fuel (i.e.tyres are burned for power production). The recovery of oil and sulphur reduces the dependence on importedproducts and lessens the effect of price volatility on tyre production ...

Environmental and Economic BEnefits from BIochar clusterS in the Central area (E2BEBIS)
Start date: May 31, 2012, End date: Nov 29, 2014,
Emissions from fossil fuels are the largest contributor to the anthropogenic greenhouse effect, so a reduction in fossil-energy use is a clear priority for the environment. Yet, because some emissions will be unavoidable, a responsible strategy also means actively withdrawing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Such carbon sequestration faces multi-faceted challenges: the net withdrawal of carbon ...
