Hydrogen Production from Waste

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