Water, waste and energy- resource use/reuse with zero climate impact and system perspective
This PhD project, conducted in collaboration with MDU’s strategic partners – the VEMM group, aims to explore innovative, cost-effective, and flexible solutions for managing water, waste, and energy, including possible future food production systems. Inspired by the extreme resource efficiency of space missions, the project focuses on developing hyper-circular system (HCS) concepts that integrate resource use in a closed-loop manner, thereby minimizing waste and maximizing sustainability. This project is part of the KKS Jubilee PhD student network.
