Introduction
The project consists in an educational video content about energy exploitation from waste recovery in the framework of circular economy. The content was developed to be published online and serve as an educational offering to people interested in the use as an energy source of wastes deriving from industrial, tertiary, and domestic activities.
The project will also test the demand for online video content in circular economy education.
Objectives of the training initiative
Openly available educational offering to international and global audience to provide basic circular economy knowledge and showcase the efforts of the TICHE initiative.
Context
The video lesson deals with the energy recovery from wastes. The description starts from the waste recovery as a part of the EU waste hierarchy which has been theorized to drive the action that has to be made for waste management. Then, the waste-to-energy supply chain is presented in its three main parts: production and treatment of wastes, biofuel production technologies and energy exploitation by means of energy systems and biofuel users (such as mobility).
Target groups and their characteristics
The target audience are circular economy novices, undergraduates and students that are interested in gaining some introductory knowledge about energy recovery from wastes and applied circularity and receive an overview about potential use cases.
