• Utilising waste wood that currently is burned + generating a quality product output for a regional loop

• Production of biochar (activated charcoal) for treatment of heavy contaminated waste water (landfill leachate)

• Current process runs with wood chips from untreated wood. Technology needs to be adopted to waste wood input

• The produced charcoal from waste wood is classified as a waste product. Strategies and concepts for the utilization of this charcoal need to be developed and an adequate legislative setting established

• 1 quality product generated

• 1 regional loop created for waste wood with regional application in the treatment of highly contaminated waste water (e.g. landfill leachate)

• Lab results confirming quality of product

Challenges to run a stable gasification and to produce a quality product:

• Quality of waste wood

• Age of waste wood

• Contaminants
