The Sludge2Energy project uses a pyrolysis process to convert waste into energy-rich gases and biochar by heating dried sewage sludge in a low-oxygen environment. This approach transforms a disposal challenge into valuable energy and circular resources at a pilot scale.

Solar drying is a core enabler of Sludge2Energy, using natural solar energy to reduce sludge moisture, enhance process efficiency, and support a low-emission pathway for sustainable energy recovery and resource valorization.

12-month research contract at Niccolò Cusano University (Italy), co-financed by the EU-funded Interreg NEXT MED project Sludge2Energy

Smarter sludge and wastewater management can cut emissions and create local value across the Mediterranean.
