EiCLaR

The Enhanced Innovative In situ Biotechnologies for Contaminated Land Remediation (EiCLaR) project combines biological and non-biological processes to extend the sustainability and cost effectiveness benefits of in situ bioremediation (ISBR) to a far wider range of land contamination problems.

The broad hypothesis underlying our research is that integration with specific physical, electrical and chemical processes will provide a clear value added component to modern environmental biotechnologies.

Objectives

The broad aim of EiCLaR is to lift biotechnologies to new performance levels through the fusion of ISBRs with non-biological processes. For this purpose it is essential:

To define novel configurations, materials and operational parameters and target contaminants that will optimize EiCLaR technologies for the established proof-of-concept level research for their specific applications.
To drive our advances in innovative bioremediation technologies towards market with incorporation of specific Small to Medium sized entreprise’s and potential technology clients with industrially- and environmentally-relevant field demonstrations in both the EU and China.
