MySOIL - LIFE project

The EU-funded LIFE MySOIL project develops a competitive and innovative technology to demonstrate the feasibility of mycoremediation to full-scale configuration. Mycoremediation is a type of bioremediation that uses fungal inocula to degrade (or accumulate) pollutants. The advantage of mycoremediation is that it retains the benefits of bioremediation treatments, including low economic, social and environmental costs, while increasing the removal efficiencies up to similar figures of thermal desorption. Eurecat coordinates and participates in the project through the Water, Air and Soil Unit (WAS), the Waste, Energy and Environmental Impact Unit (WEEI), the Omic Sciences Unit, the Nutrition and Health Unit and the Consultancy Department. The consortium of the project also counts with the participation of 7 associated beneficiaries including the Madrid Autonomous University and the engineering KEPLER (Spain), University of Tucsia and the engineering Eni Rewind (Italy), the engineering VALGO (France), the fungal provider company Novobiom (Belgium) and the environmental consultancy providing services on monitoring Isodetect (Germany).
