Zero waste and decarbonization

We promote the efficiency of wastewater treatment, energy self-sufficiency and the recovery of resources

Resilience to climate change

We develop and validate innovative processes to increase the efficiency and minimise the risks of wastewater treatment plants, produce green energy, reduce the carbon footprint, and recover high-value by-products.

In this way, we ensure the quality of treated effluents, contribute to the decarbonization of plants and generate revenue through circular business models.

In this area of innovation we have different programmes through which we:

  • Offer advanced wastewater treatment
  • Develop decarbonization and gas valorisation technologies
  • Convert waste into value-added products
