| Abstract | HyWay aims to synthesise hydrogen rich syngas from low cost carbon source, and eliminate the environmental issues fromconventional waste management (e.g., landfill or incineration). HyWay advances the state-of-the-art in carbonaceous wastemanagement especially plastic waste, waste tires, waste biomass and crude glycerol for hydrogen production. The overall aim of theHyWay is to establish long-term consolidated research collaborations between the participating institutions with complementaryexpertise and knowledge to design and develop carbon-neutral, scalable, and socially acceptable pathways to sort and convert wasteto hydrogen-rich syngas as part of next generation sustainable fuels. Through secondments, workshops, training, webinar series, andindustry-focused events, HyWay produces multiple avenues for career development, cross-sectoral experiences, and academictraining in a multi-cultural and interdisciplinary environment. Research results are translated into training materials, including formalacademic and industry courses on waste sorting, chemical recycling technologies, process modelling, machine learning, technoeconomicanalysis and life cycle analysis for postgraduate students, early-stage and experienced researchers and industry; trainingtutorials for industrial and technical staffs; and creating the basis for developing academic textbooks for the wider researchcommunity and possibly in undergraduate module delivery. There is also a focus on transferable skills, with dedicated trainingactivities specially designed to facilitate personal development, technological and communication skills. HyWay delivers through theeffective collaboration of 7 member state/associate country universities and companies, and eight third country universities and companies from China, Japan, Australia and Malaysia | |
