The project “Innovation from Energy from Waste Concept for a Low Carbon Economy” has been launched

On October 1, 2020, the University of Latvia signed an agreement with the Central Finance and Contracts Administration on the innovation of the research project “Innovation of the waste-to-energy concept for the low-carbon economy: Development of novel carbon capture technology for thermochemical processing of municipal solid waste (Carbon Capture and Storage from Waste – CCSW)”. Within the framework of the project, it is planned to study the possibilities of CO2 sorption and to develop a laboratory-level prototype for this task.

In order to coordinate the launch of the project, as well as to identify the main tasks of the team, a kick-off meeting was organized on 7 October 2020 with the participation of project researchers, researchers, partners and supporters. The idea of ​​the project, the main tasks to be performed, the initial research directions were presented, as well as other issues related to the project were highlighted at the meeting.
