Earthresque Sfi

earthresQue er et Senter for Forskningsdrevet Innovasjon (SFI) finansiert av Norges forskningsråd og partnere. Senteret vil utvikle teknologier og systemer for bærekraftig håndtering og behandling av avfall og overskuddsmasser. Bakgrunn: I dag utgjør forurenset jord, avfall fra bygg og anleggssektoren, slagg og aske mer enn 70% av deponerte materialer i Norge. I tillegg er det store mengder rene overskuddsmasser, som jord, knust stein og fjell, som går til massetipp. Dette er sløsing med verdifulle ressurser, deponivolum og arealer. Målet med SFI earthresQue er å utvikle teknologier, løsninger, verdikjeder og rammevilkår for en mer bærekraftig håndtering og behandling av avfall og overskuddsmasser. Forskningen i senteret bygger på tett samarbeid mellom brukerpartnere og forskningsmiljøene slik at kunnskapen som utvikles svarer på behov i bransjen. Forskningen vil også innlemmes i utdanningsprogrammene på NMBU og BI for å sikre kompetent arbeidskraft. Hovedmålet med forskningen i earthresQue er å utvikle teknologi, systeminnovasjon og et styringsrammeverk for å oppnå bærekraftig forvaltning og behandling av avfall og overskuddsmasser, basert på et vitenskapelig fundament og utdanning. Det overordnede målet med senteret er mer innovasjon og verdiskaping i bransjen som håndterer og gjenvinner avfall og overskuddsmasser. Fremstående forskningsmiljøer samarbeider med forskningsaktive brukere om å utvikle kompetanse og teknologi som kan fornye og videreutvikle både næringsliv og offentlig sektor. Tidsrom: 2020-2028. The earthresQue SFI centre is a Centre for Research-based Innovation (SFI) funded by the Research Council of Norway. The centre will develop technologies and systems for sustainable handling and treatment of waste and surplus masses.
