EnergyProSafe
Improving energy production and safety in biocarbon value chains
The EnergyProSafe project responds to the national strategies on transition into a low-carbon-emission society and goals of the metallurgical industry by improving energy production and safety in BC value chains, securing safe and sustainable supply of BC of needed quality and in sufficient quantity.
Objectives:
The main objective of the project is to improve and enhance energy production and safety in biocarbon value chains.
Approach:
The project objective and planned tasks will be realized through
- identify safety risks and measures to increase energy output from the biocarbon production processes
- identification of vulnerabilities and risks related to transportation, handling and storage of biocarbon from the producer to the end-use in metal production processes
- a combination of experimental investigations and numerical simulations to gain knowledge on the key safety issues
- use of this new knowledge combined with results from industry onsite know-how, experience and investigations to develop prediction, detection and prevention measures
- multidisciplinary consequences and impacts assessment of the safety risks
- establishment of guidelines and giving recommendations.
Outputs:
Outputs from the project are valuable for industries carrying out proactive and systematic work in relation to health, safety and the environment (HSE) and making the working environment and safety level appropriate and satisfactory. EnergyProSafe project will generate new knowledge and produce valuable results that are crucial for improving safety and increase process performance of the BC value chain for sustainable metallurgical industries in Norway.
