Join us for "Addressing challenges and unlocking Carbon Capture & Utilisation – Circular carbon advancement through policy reform" on February 20, 2024, from 10 am – 12 pm (CET).
We're bringing together bio-based chemical industry stakeholders to discuss challenges and solutions in promoting alternative carbon feedstock. Our aim? To present findings to EU policymakers and regulators, explore CCU pathways, and advocate for policy reform towards sustainable production practices.
Key topics include:
1. Creating binding targets for non-fossil carbon content
2. Streamlining regulatory approval for bioconversion processes
3. Establishing effective market pull mechanisms for biogenic carbon products
Don't miss the chance to engage with experts and shape the future of carbon utilization. Register for free and access the agenda here:

Heinz Gattringer at the kickoff meeting of Nature-Based Solutions for Soil Management (NBSOIL Project)at BOKU - Universität für Bodenkultur Wien . NBSOIL is a four-year EU-funded initiative led by the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation IUNG in Poland.
It aims to create and test a comprehensive learning pathway for both current and future soil advisors, equipping them with the tools and knowledge needed to champion a holistic and nature-based solutions approach to soil management. 🌿

As an innovative, research-driven SME, we're proud to be part of this incredible project.
Here is what we will be doing to support this initiative:
🌍 Conducting on-site demonstration trials in Austria and Italy on two abandoned sites (industrial and mining).
🌿 Implementing a series of measures, including soil amendments, across approximately 1 hectare of land.
🧪 Measuring various soil pollutants like heavy metals, PAHs, and microplastics.
🍄 Employing a diverse range of approaches and methods, including the use of bacteria, fungi, and plants to combat pollutants, even microplastics in soil.
🔬 Exploring the recovery of valuable metals after phytoextraction from the soil.
📈 Aiming for a measurable reduction in soil pollutants per ppm.

Our ultimate goal you ask?

It is to deliver a cutting-edge technology package for soil advisors trained by the project and potential clients (public and private) as part of our consultancy services.
