EiCLaR: Enhanced and Innovative in situ Biotechnologies for Contaminated Land Remediation
About EiCLaR:
Enhanced and Innovative In Situ Biotechnologies for Contaminated Land Remediation (EiCLaR) is a project funded by
the EU and China. It was launched on 1st January 2021, is composed of 13 EU and 5 Chinese partners and will run for 4 years. The project is being coordinated by Professor Timothy M. Vogel at Ecole Centrale de Lyon and Professor Xin Song at the Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
EiCLaR will develop scientific and technical innovations for in situ bioremediation technologies that will be directly developed into industrial processes for the rapid, efficient, costeffective treatment of a range of environmental
pollutants (chlorinated solvents, heavy metals, hydrocarbons).
These technologies will expand their range of applications to industrial sites that contain complex, high concentration pollutant mixtures:
• electro-nanobioremediation
• monitored bioaugmentation
• bioelectrochemical remediation
• enhanced phytoremediation
