The project, with funding approval from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research was launched earlier this year and is to be completed in 2025.
Under the three-year project, an innovative and renewable energy park would be created with components such as a solar drying plant, biomass gasification, a biomass fermenter and an absorption chiller to be realized and optimized at the UENR campus.
