WHAT IS THE PROJECT ABOUT?

• Within this project, a SMO pilot site will be built on the Croatian Island of Cres, consisting in a fully operational SMO unit and relevant infrastructures.
• SMO is the first energy-autonomous waste processor using exclusively solar thermal energy to transform carbon-based waste into competitively priced Clean Hydrogen, together with Carbon sequestration. Clean hydrogen is then used to generate electricity. The carbonated by-products of the process (carbon powder), will be sold to the tire and rubber industry as a replacement for fossil-based products.
