HyWay: Hydrogen Production from Waste

HyWay旨在从低成本碳源合成富氢合成气，并消除传统废物管理的环境问题（例如，填埋或焚化）。HyWay推进了碳质废物管理的最新技术，特别是塑料废物、废轮胎、废生物质和用于制氢的粗甘油。HyWay的总体目标是在具有互补专业知识和知识的参与机构之间建立长期的综合研究合作，以设计和开发碳中和，可扩展和社会可接受的途径，将废物分类并转化为富氢合成气，作为下一代可持续燃料的一部分。通过借调，研讨会，培训，网络研讨会系列和以行业为重点的活动，HyWay在多文化和跨学科的环境中为职业发展，跨部门经验和学术培训提供多种途径。研究成果转化为培训材料，包括为研究生、早期和有经验的研究人员和工业界提供的关于废物分类、化学品回收技术、流程建模、机器学习、技术经济分析和生命周期分析的正式学术和工业课程;为工业和技术人员提供的培训教程;并为更广泛的研究社区和可能的本科模块交付开发学术教科书奠定基础。还注重可转移的技能，专门设计了专门的培训活动，以促进个人发展、技术和沟通技能。HyWay通过与7个成员国/准成员国的大学和公司以及来自中国、日本、澳大利亚和马来西亚的8所第三国大学和公司的有效合作提供服务。

HyWay aims to synthesise hydrogen rich syngas from low cost carbon source, and eliminate the environmental issues from conventional waste management (e.g., landfill or incineration). HyWay advances the state-of-the-art in carbonaceous waste management especially plastic waste, waste tires, waste biomass and crude glycerol for hydrogen production. The overall aim of the HyWay is to establish long-term consolidated research collaborations between the participating institutions with complementary expertise and knowledge to design and develop carbon-neutral, scalable, and socially acceptable pathways to sort and convert waste to hydrogen-rich syngas as part of next generation sustainable fuels. Through secondments, workshops, training, webinar series, and industry-focused events, HyWay produces multiple avenues for career development, cross-sectoral experiences, and academic training in a multi-cultural and interdisciplinary environment. Research results are translated into training materials, including formal academic and industry courses on waste sorting, chemical recycling technologies, process modelling, machine learning, technoeconomic analysis and life cycle analysis for postgraduate students, early-stage and experienced researchers and industry; training tutorials for industrial and technical staffs; and creating the basis for developing academic textbooks for the wider research community and possibly in undergraduate module delivery. There is also a focus on transferable skills, with dedicated training activities specially designed to facilitate personal development, technological and communication skills. HyWay delivers through the effective collaboration of 7 member state/associate country universities and companies, and eight third country universities and companies from China, Japan, Australia and Malaysia.
