Enabling Environmental Mycotechnologies

Enabling Environmental Mycotechnologies (EEM)EEM aims at developing soil fungal based remediation solutions to a commercial scale.

Indeed, emerging fungal-based approaches have been proposed as attractive options for the biological treatment of polluted matrices, such as soil, sludge & sediments, and water.

Such mycotechnological approaches also offer an exciting potential for the restoration of degraded ecosystems (mycoremediation and mycorestoration) as they have the potential to foster the adoption of low carbon, sustainable solutions in many industrial fields such as: agricultural biologicals (biostimulants, biopesticides, etc.), mycomaterials, production of enzymes for the industrial sector, products for the agri-food industry.

The specific objectives of EEM are:•Securing NOVOBIOM’s core IP assets as one proprietary dynamic knowledge repository: this will be achieved by establishing a tailored fungal database for environmental applications•Setting NOVOBIOM’s strategic roadmap for the protection, diversification and scaling of all foreseen fungal applications.
