HORIZON EUROPE: Quasar - EU-Project
The ‘Quasar’ project is a four-year project with 20 international partners from Europe and the USA, funded by the European Commission as part of Horizon Europe.
The aim of the project is to improve the eco-efficiency of photovoltaic module recycling by 70% via closed-loop systems with greatly improved recycling rates, systematic collection of PV modules and system management via digital twins. The achievement of the project goals will be demonstrated by the construction and operation of two pilot plants for PV recycling in Europe.
bifa will determine the improvements achieved in the new, sustainable processes compared to a benchmark, which represents the state of the art at the start of the project, with two eco-efficiency analyses, one after around 2/3 of the project duration and one at the end of the project. Furthermore, bifa will support the evaluation of the dismantling of the plant and the collection systems as well as the utilisation strategy for the results.
