The H2020 projects IANOS and ROBINSON are organising the webinar "From waste to grid: re-using resources to achieve energy independence on islands" as a partner event for the EU Green Week, which will take place on 3 June 2021, from 2 pm to 3.30 pm CEST.
Islands often face energy constraints and resource limitations. IANOS and ROBINSON believe that EU islands can play an essential role in the EU's energy tranistion, especially when it come to waste to energy technologies.
In this webinar, representatives from ROBINSON (GA 957752) and IANOS (GA 957810) will illustrate how they will help islands re-use their waste and unused resources to improve their carbon footprint and energy security using innovative technologies. The speakers will showcase two technologies developed in the projects:
– ROBINSON: AD+BES technology that will allow Eigerøy, but also other islands, to repurpose their industrial biological waste to produce biomethane, so diminishing CO2 emissions while increasing energy security;
– IANOS: the bio-technology called Autogenerative High Pressure Digestion (AHPD), which will convert sewage, swill and other organic waste into green Natural Gas (CH4), and it can be used directly or injected at a later moment in the grid.
The webinar will also feature a speaker from Aurelia Turbines, small-turbines developer, which will focus on technologies able to leverage those gasses to respond to the energetic needs of islands and communities.
