Description |
The project aims at further developing and implementing an environmentally sound furnace technology for the combustion of waste from coffee production (coffee pulp) in order to produce energy for coffee bean drying.
The coffee pulp causes considerable environmental problems globally, regarding water pollution, soil acidification and greenhouse gas emissions. Thanks to the new combustion process, which shall be further developed, the humid coffee pulp can be burnt without any additives. This leads to ecological, as well as economical benefits. As the coffee world market prices are very low at the moment, the supply with cheap process energy helps to improve the competitiveness of small coffee producers. |
