How to define the impact of new technologies? A NEMO workshop on Sustainability assessment
|
|
|
|
To recover metals from industrial by-products and residual streams, existing flowsheets must be adapted or new technologies developed. It is not easy to determine the economic, environmental and social impact of new technologies where data is only available on laboratory scale. And how much additional impact do we accept before resource recovery becomes worse than well-managed landfilling?
A broad cluster of EU H2020 project aims to discuss these questions starting from the experiences in ongoing projects. Bottlenecks and potential solutions are presented, followed by an interactive debate.
The workshop will take place a side event of the Raw Materials week. More info and registration here.
