This is a Horizon2020 EU-funded project with the purpose of combining clean biofuel production and phytoremediation solutions from contaminated lands worldwide. It pursues a global approach for hte recovery of arable land through improved phytoremediation coupled with advanced liquid biofuel production and climate friendly copper smelting process.
Lukas Brunbauer is active for ITS Förderberatung GmbH and entrusted to lead the creation of potential business models for this approach. The goal is to combine the recovery of contaminated soil with clean biofuel production. Although the TRL (technology readiness level) is relatively low (3-5 out of 10), the project consortium consisting of 17 international partners aim to examine viable ways for making this work.
