| Project goal/description | The project aims to create a technological solution for the recycling of aluminium waste, increasing the efficiency of recycling, ultimately producing hydrogen for energy use and alumina for the production of further low-emission products.
As a result of the project, a waste aluminium treatment methodology will be developed for its use in hydrogen production; a prototype for electricity generation from aluminium waste will be developed, a methodology for further processing of prototype waste will be developed, the evaluation of the obtained technology will be approbated with a socio-economic assessment in the context of Icelandic and Baltic aluminium waste recycling, a methodology for aluminium waste treatment will be developed, a prototype for electricity generation from aluminium waste will be developed, socio-economic assessment of the developed technology will be prepared. The total cost of the project is EUR 800000.00, of which EUR 680000.00 is co-financing from European Economic Area financial instrument and EUR 120000.00 is National co-finding.
