Rolls-Royce Fuel Cell Systems Limited
Sustainable Technologies
Building sustainability into the life cycle of fuel cell systems
Compared with conventional combustion-based technologies, the environmental benefits of fuel cell systems in operation are widely accepted. But providing clean and efficient electrical power is only one phase of a fuel cell system’s life cycle. The full life cycle must also consider the environmental impacts of materials production, manufacturing processes and end-of-life management.
Rozone
Sustainable Technologies
The project aim is to optimise the recovery of end of life vehicles. Rozone enlisted the help of the Centre for Sustainable Manufacturing and Re-Use/Recycling Technologies (SMART) at Loughborough University to develop a new cost-oriented approach to optimise the value recovery of end-of-life vehicles, while meeting recycling and sustainability targets.
