CCR Competence Center of Recycling at Chalmers University of Technology in cooperation with IVL Swedish Environmental Institute invite to a seminar where we meet up digitally and share knowledge about the transition towards Circular Economy.
Overview
- Date:Starts 7 November 2023, 09:00Ends 7 November 2023, 10:30
- Language:English
Solar energy harvesting has been steadily increasing its share in electricity production, and the International Energy Agency and the EU have an ambitious goal to grow it rapidly. Since photovoltaic (PV) technologies are the backbone of solar energy harvesting, the raw material supply for the industry and their waste management are the challenges to reaching the intended targets. In the seminar we will address current challenges and opportunities relating to material demand and circularity of the PV industry from technological and socio-economic perspectives and highlight the required actions.
