PARSIVAL: pv PAnels Recycling to create SIlicon VALue chain. Final Workshop

PARSIVAL (2023-2024) is a RIS capacity building that aims to create a circular value chain for PV in paticular in Apulia (IT) and Extremadura (ES) and, in detail, by proposing technologies for reuse, refurbishment and recycling of end-of-live PV panels.
Furthermore, the project has also studied, in collaboration with Industrial external stakeholders, the use of recovered silicon PV cells for several applications such as Si-ferroalloy, batteries or the purification for production of new PV.

In this workshop the results achieved by the project are presented with time dedicated to Q&A and open discussion.
