ZERO BRINE APPROACHES ITS CONCLUSION

ZERO BRINE’s final year has been an exciting period for the project, with all four pilot plants having successfully concluded.

As the results come to the forefront, now is the time to share the work that has been accomplished on the success of the ZERO BRINE technology, the research that has happened, and the impacts that our work has had.

Discover the latest project updates and be sure to join us at our last events including our Final Forum!

FINAL FORUM



ZERO BRINE’s Final Forum will be held as part of Amsterdam International Water Week.


ZERO BRINE will host an expert panel at AIWW on 2 November 2021. This digital event will be in addition to the full-day Final Forum being held in Delft on 4 November 2021.

Both events will be available via Livestream, with the possibility of in-person attendance (subject to further COVID-19 developments).

SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE WORKSHOPS


On 22 September and 29 September, two interactive workshops lead by circular economy experts will discuss how to accelerate social acceptance for circularity, drawing from ZERO BRINE. The workshop will focus on key drivers of social acceptance including technological infrastructure, sustainability impact, and supporting business models. General challenges in communicating circular solutions, and their impact on the three key drivers of social acceptance will also be discussed.

TRAININGS ACROSS EUROPE

In addition to the training held in Poland, the project has held online training sessions in Italy, Spain and Turkey. Training sessions have now taken place in five different languages across as many countries.

Turkish Trainings

TUBITAK presented two trainings for public authorities and for companies, focusing on how salt and water recovery can contribute to sustainable production.

KEY PROJECT OUTPUTS





Industrial Emissions Directive Policy Brief

Urban Wastewater Treatment Policy Brief

We have released two policy briefs on the Industrial Emissions Directive and the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive. These policy briefs outline the added value of the ZERO BRINE project, while also giving key policy recommendations. These policy briefs come in addition to our Core Policy Brief and Zero Pollution Policy Brief.


Polish Pilot Plant: Technology Video

The project has developed a detailed guide to the technology used at our Polish pilot plant, and how this can be used to recover valuable resources from coal mine wastewater.

Turkish Pilot Plant: Digital Journey

Due to COVID-19 the project was unable to host an in-person visit to our pilot plant in Turkey. Instead, we created a digital journey through the plant.
