SUSTAINABLE ENERGY HARVESTING SYSTEMS BASED ON INNOVATIVE MINE WASTE RECYCLING

About us

START, an innovation action project supported by the European Union (EU) and its Horizon Europe programme, aims to create a sustainable supply chain for green energy harvesting products based on the concept of converting mining waste into materials for waste heat recovery. START will transform waste secondary sulphide materials, widely available in Europe, into sustainable high added-value components for tellurium-free thermoelectric devices. With this unique technological solution, START contributes to an efficient use of resources while promoting the diversification of the sources of renewable energy production systems using green energy harvesting through thermoelectrics, in line with the strategies outlined in the European Green Deal and in the EU Action Plans on Critical Raw Materials and on Circular Economy.
