This project has three purposes: the first; Developing bio-based heat and/or CHP technologies with high efficiency and utilization of solid biomass residues originating from WWTPs. latter; contributing to the circular economy with the sustainable use of the power/heat ratios of biomass fuels as a heat source. Third; It is the integration of solar thermal energy systems as a renewable energy source into cogeneration systems that cause high cost effectiveness for the consumer. In this way, it provides lower energy costs and reduces harmful gas emissions, including NOx and SOx, to near-zero amounts during use.

Improving the quality of solid biomass residues from WWTPs after an appropriate bio-based treatment is the main challenge of the project. Reducing the cost of bio-based heat, improving technical performance and increasing efficiency and developing CHP technologies are among the challenges. In addition, the acquisition and reuse of biofuel and the reduction of the load created by biomass on WWTP systems make the project challenging.

Generally, this project has addressed the above-mentioned potential challenges. It increases the sustainability of biomass-based heat and/or CHP by making biofuels efficient through the use of new technologies with a holistic management system. Especially in reducing emissions and air pollution, ensuring environmental sustainability and reducing vulnerability to climate change, and the transition to carbon reuse in fossil fuel-based economic areas and resource acquisition and circularity. In addition, it is to ensure the active use of renewable energy systems by integrating hybrid PV and ST (solar thermal) modular systems as an energy source.
