On the 7th of August, Jörgen Held, BEIC visited Abdallah Nassour and co-workers at Fakultät für Agrar, Bau und Umwelt at University of Rostock.
The visit started with a nice, informative and valuable tour in the laboratory, guided by Cinthya Lara, Abdallah Nassour and Ibrahim Rahmouni.
Later on the development of an LCA tool and the techno-economic analysis (TEA) within WP4 were discussed in detail. The discussion also covered how the results from the LCA tool and the TEA will be integrated with recommendations for landfill gas operators and result in the development of a decision support tool (WP5).
