  • Converting food waste into value-added products in Germany and Hong Kong: Solar-driven carbon-neutral technology development, feasibility analysis, and policy implications
    The project investigates the potential of solar-driven thermochemical processes to convert food waste into value-added products, such as hydrogen and methanol. The focus lies on a comprehensive analysis of this innovative technology, including optimal process designs, techno-economic feasibility, environmental impacts, key stakeholder identification and derivation of policy implications. The analysis is conducted in two distinct regions: Hongkong and Hannover, each presenting unique conditions and challenges of food waste conversion. Based on the outcomes from both case studies, the project teams aim to provide tailored recommendations for local stakeholders in the respective regions.
