Scientists from the Lublin University of Technology (PL) together with specialists from Enea Innowacje will jointly participate in research and development projects aimed at reducing industrial waste.

The Lublin University of Technology and a company of the Enea Group signed a cooperation agreement on August 31, 2021. One of its aims will developing a technology for the utilization of photovoltaic panels and creating a method for the management of fly ash from biomass co-combustion.

-We want to start our cooperation with the development of a technology for utilization of photovoltaic panels, both in terms of recycling entire panels to produce aggregates used in construction, and we will focus on selective economy, i.e. separating individual elements, e.g. silicon glass and using it for the production of a new generation of panels. We will also deal with the management of fly ash generated as a result of biomass combustion. We intend to develop various types of micronutrient carriers and fertilizers that could be used to improve the natural environment and soil reclamation. We also see a good prospect for the use of volatile aggregates in construction and new technologies in the energy sector. We would like to test these types of innovations together with Enea – said the Vice-Rector of PL for Science, Prof. Wojciech Franus.
