- Title
WASTE HEAT.
- Abstract
Novoloop and Aether Industries are partnering to develop a pilot plant in India that will demonstrate Novoloop's Lifecycling technology, which converts polyethylene waste into thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) through a controlled oxidation process. This process can upgrade hard-to-recycle waste streams and produce higher-value products. The pilot plant is expected to have a plastics-processing capacity of 70 metric tons per year by the end of 2024. Evonik Industries and Uniper have launched the TORTE project in Germany, which aims to feed industrial waste heat into the district heating network, supplying around 1,000 homes by the end of 2024 and reducing emissions by 1,750 tons per year of CO2. Researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of California, Berkeley have developed a limescale-repellent coating that prevents the adhesion of limescale crystals. The coating was tested in the laboratory and showed promising results. The Emission Free Pulping program, led by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, aims to reduce biomass burning and increase the product yield of wood material used for pulping. The program includes 10 participants and aims to improve energy efficiency, achieve emission-free pulping, and reduce water usage in the processes. Andritz AG, Arauco, Metsä Group, Stora Enso Oyj, and Valmet Oyj have committed to a five-year collaboration with the research organizations
