Project content

Content of WP1

In addition to project coordination, another essential content of work package 1 is the survey of industry representatives (hemp farmers and processors) about potentials, possibilities and obstacles of the energetic use of production residues. From the discussion with representatives from science and practice, the main recommendations for action with regard to the future orientation of the energetic use of residual materials in hemp processing are to be derived.

Content AP2

Within the scope of work package 2, practical investigations of residue storage and pre-treatment are planned with the aim of providing residue biomass with optimal material properties for energetic use throughout the year.

Content of WP3

In work package 3, investigations are carried out into the suitability of the biogas process for residue treatment. In addition, recommendations on fuel technology and plant technology for the combustion of residual materials in the form of pellets will be derived, including classification under licensing law. In addition, the suitability of the residues for biomass gasification for energy recovery will be investigated.

Content of WP4

The content of work package 4 is the final analysis and evaluation of the residue treatment methods with regard to technical realisation as well as an economic and ecological classification of the results.
