Research project ReSoURCE strives to reduce Europe's CO_2 emissions significantly

摘要

A research project, funded by the European Union, targets the recycling process in the refractory industry. The international initiative, which is part of the Horizon program, could help decreasing CO_2 emissions in the refractory industry up to 800 thousand tons per year. It is a challenging endeavor that the eight research partners under the lead of RHI Magnesita have taken on. With high end technologies and the combined knowledge from geology, laser technology, and hyperspectral imaging - just to name a few - the researchers from five countries are seeking to solve one of the bigger issues in regard to Europe's car- bon footprint. And they do so by focusing on recycling of fire-resistant industrial products.
