LIFE Project: Intensive treatment of wastewater and conversion into useful and sustainable products: biogas, nutrients, and water. Project LIFE INFUSION aims to demonstrate the viability of a circular economy approach to treating liquid digestate from the organic fraction of urban solid waste and leachate from landfills and recovering it for use as energy, biofertilizer, and irrigation …
LIFE Project: Green solutions for treating groundwater contamination to meet Drinking Water Directive standards Project LIFE SPOT aims to develop a new treatment process that removes nitrates and micropollutants from contaminated groundwater and produces high-quality drinking water that meets the requirements of Directive 98/83/EC on drinking water …
LIFE Project: Modernization of wastewater treatment plants using innovative, low-cost technologies for energy self-sufficiency and complete recycling Project Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) sludge is a good source of nutrients and organic matter for agricultural purposes, but its use in agriculture still raises many concerns due to the possible presence of heavy metals, emerging contaminants, or pathogens. …
LIFE Project: Reforestation and Climate Change Mitigation: Testing, evaluation, and transfer of innovative methods based on fog harvesting Project The LIFE NIEBLAS project aims to test innovative fog collectors and innovative reforestation methods based on fog water harvesting that do not significantly increase the carbon footprint compared to traditional methods, considering their effectiveness and …
LIFE Project: Innovative use of mycological resources for resilient and productive Mediterranean forests threatened by climate change Project LIFE MycoRestore aims to use diverse mycological resources and forest management practices to contribute to the biological resilience of Mediterranean …
LIFE Project: Integrating the circular economy and biodiversity into sustainable wastewater treatment based on constructed wetlands Project LIFE RENATURWAT aims to demonstrate that reclaimed water can be obtained from WWTP effluents by combining nature-based solutions (NBS) and industrial waste to produce a high-quality water resource suitable for environmental uses, such as wetland …
LIFE Project: LIFE-3E - Environment-Energy-Economy Project The LIFE-3E project aims to demonstrate the technical, economic and environmental viability of an innovative and efficient process for recovering treated wastewater in coastal areas, with integrated salt gradient energy recovery (SGE), which contributes …
LIFE Project: Cost-effective CO2 capture, hydrogenation, and conversion into fuel in energy-intensive industries Project Energy-intensive industries need to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption from fossil fuels. One possible way to achieve this is through carbon dioxide hydrogenation (which involves the reaction of hydrogen with CO2 to produce …
LIFE Project: MW-scale green hydrogen production plant to decarbonize meat waste treatment in Spain Project Project focused on reducing CO2 emissions by replacing natural gas used as fuel in meat waste treatment with renewable H2 in meat waste …
LIFE Project: Eat, Act, Impact: Empowering and raising awareness in the education sector in Catalonia, Spain, and Europe for a fairer, healthier, and more environmentally friendly food system, thanks to the LIFE program Project The EAT:LIFE project aims to transform the food consumption patterns of citizens in Catalonia, and more broadly in Spain and Europe, toward more sustainable, fair, and healthy …
LIFE Project: Divide and Conquer: Closing the Loop on Water, Nutrient, and Resource Management for Irrigation Activities. Project LIFE CONQUER demonstrates an innovative water reclamation process based on smart nanofiltration (NF), which will split salinity and nitrates to produce nutrient-rich reclaimed water. This will be suitable for reuse in …
LIFE Project: Production of advanced biodiesel from animal waste using supercritical technologies Project The LIFE Superbiodiesel Project aims to demonstrate, at pilot plant scale, the advantages of producing biofuels from methanol under supercritical conditions using new catalytic technology. Modulating the catalytic reaction process will allow the …
LIFE Project: Guiding the integration of best practices in bio-waste recycling in Europe Project The LIFE BIOBEST project aims to identify and validate current Best Practices (BP) and management tools throughout the biowaste management chain (from generation to treatment) that allow the production of quality compost and digestate and to establish a …
