"LASERCLEAN-CE" - Automated Laser-Cleaning Rejuvenation of 3D-Metallic Components for Re-use within the Circular Economy

汽油车在生产过程中产生的碳排放量约占其使用寿命的23%，而纯电动车的碳排放量则高达46%。为了最大限度地减少碳排放并向零碳经济转型，我们必须找到一种方法，尽可能长时间地保持我们的二手车库存在路上。“绿色”汽车零部件是从报废和注销的车辆中提取的，成本较低，对环境的影响最小。尽管有这些优势，但旧零件在全球汽车零部件市场中所占的份额还不到0.3%。基于对质量和制造原产地的担忧，旧零件的采用存在重大障碍。LASERCLEAN-CE项目将寻求解决这一问题，通过开发一种创新的自动化系统来恢复旧汽车零部件的活力，增加价值，加快汽车行业向循环经济转型的速度。

Approximately 23% of a petrol vehicle's lifetime carbon emissions are generated during its production and this value increases to 46% for a wholly-electric vehicle.To minimise carbon emissions and transition towards a zero-carbon economy, it is essential that we find a way of maintaining our used vehicle stock on the road for as long as possible."Green" automotive parts, extracted from end-of-life and written-off vehicles are lower in cost and have minimal environmental effect. Despite this advantage, used parts represent less than 0.3% of the global automotive parts market.There are significant barriers to the adoption of used parts, based on concerns about quality and origin of manufacture.The LASERCLEAN-CE project will seek to address this issue, by developing an innovative, automated system to rejuvenate used automotive parts, adding value and increasing the speed of transition towards a Circular Economy within the automotive sector.
