Next Wednesday, April 27th, will take place an online webinar “Biomining, a promising sustainable way to supply Critical Raw Materials in Europe”.

Among the speakers will be researchers from CETIM Technological Centre, Universidade de Coimbra, Linneuniversitetet, AlgaEnergy, and VTT Technical Research Centre.

Next Wednesday 27th April an online webinar will take place in the framework of the BIORECOVER project. The theme of this event will be focused on current research in the use of biotechnology for the sustainable recovery of metals from untapped secondary and primary sources.

Researchers from the BIORECOVER project will present the latest findings on the treatment and recovery of metals that are essential today, focusing on the biotechnological processes developed within the framework of the project. Thus, Pablo Frieiro from CETIM, Paula V. Morais & Romeu Francisco from Universidade De Coimbra, Mark Dopson from Linneuniversitetet and Irene Jarama from AlgaEnergy, will be the speakers.

In addition, Jarno Mäkinen, from the VTT Technical Research Centre, will present the results obtained in the H2020 NEMO project, which explores new ways of valorising sulphide mining waste.
