Main goals:

• Development of environmentally friendly and ready-to-use recycling processes for wood ash under consideration of already available results from national and international research projects.
• Evaluation of the complete process chain from combustion technology to treatment, logistics, transport and recycling of the ashes with the aim to close the mineral cycle while considering environmental and economic feasibility.
• Comprehensive evaluation and assessment of technological, agricultural as well as pedological aspects under consideration of the legal framework conditions and the economic feasibility in order to provide the basis for the implementation of the project results in legal guidelines, ordinances or laws.
• Focus on realistic and rather simple recycling processes.
