New year, new projects! Today we had the preparatory meeting for the KoM of the project FORESi that will take place at the end of January. This IA, funded by the #HorizonEurope, started on 1.Jan.2024 and will last for 36 months. FORESi aims at FOstering a Recycled European #Silicon supply through the first worldwide industrial demonstration of a cradle-to-cradle Silicon value chain. To contribute to a sustainable energy sovereignty for Europe, FORESi will demonstrate a circular recycling process from end-of-life #PVpanels towards new #photovoltaics and #EVbatteries applications. The project will demonstrate the technical, economic and environmental viability of the entire recycling process, and deliver the design of an optimised recycling #turnkeyfactory of end-of-life PV panels, paving the way for a European industrial mass production of recycled Silicon. FORESi will also develop an online integrated platform for recovery of PV panels, and deliver a #PVTestingMethodology to #ReuseandRepair #EoLPVmodules. The consortium includes 11 entities from 7 countries, including six industries and SMEs, four industry-driven clusters, non profit and research centers and one university. FORESi is granted by the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA). As its Project Adviser, I could not be more proud. I wish a good work to the team. SiPow Francescantonio Della Rosa
