European project that seeks to develop natural fumigants from plant extracts to control whitefly populations and fungal outbreaks of botrytis in greenhouse horticultural crops. The project, led by FumiHogar, in collaboration with B&B Asesores, Comercial Química Massó, BrioAgro Tech and the Finnova Foundation, and 60% funded by the European Union’s LIFE programme, will last four and a half years and will test the effectiveness of a new fumigant biopesticide that is less toxic than conventional ones. With a total budget of 2,758,921.01 euros, this project aims to improve food security and biodiversity and contribute to the professionalisation of farmers in the use of biopesticides.

The objective of LIFE-3E: Environment-Energy-Economy, co-financed by the LIFE Programme of the European Union, is to develop and demonstrate an innovative process to promote the regeneration and reuse of water, integrating the production of on-site renewable energy in the coastal Urban Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTPU) of Comillas (Cantabria, Spain). This so-called Blue Energy will be generated by recovering the energy contained in the saline gradient by means of Reverse Electrodialysis. The project aims to contribute to improving the sustainability of water resources, promoting the reuse of water for street and road cleaning. It will also minimise the external energy demand of wastewater treatment processes and reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to the consumption of fossil fuels.

LIFE BIODAPH2O is a demonstration project which main objective is the scaling-up and implementation of an eco-efficient nature-based tertiary wastewater treatment at two demo sites located in water-stressed regions of the Mediterranean area: Lesvos Island (Greece) and Catalonia (Spain).
This compact and low-energy consumption system, called BIODAPH, is based on the depuration capacity of water fleas (Daphnia) and microalgal/bacterial biofilms. It will produce reclaimed water that will contribute to diminish discharges of pollutants in freshwater ecosystems and to promote agricultural reuse.Web: under construction
