Fiora Bagnato, Senior R&D Specialist from Eni Rewind, and Alessandro d’Annibale, Associate Professor from the University of La Tuscia (UNITUS), attended the workshop SICON 2024 Contaminated Sites – Experiences in remediation interventions, held between February 8th-10th in Taormina (Italy).
During session 5B of the workshop “Research and development of innovative technologies and tools”, they held the talk “Evaluating the feasibility of the clean-up of hydrocarbon-contaminated soils by mycoaugmentation: the LIFE MySOIL project.”
Their speech provided an overview of the LIFE MySOIL project, with a focus on the set-up and results of both the intermediate scale pilot test (1 m3 mesocosms) at the Italian demonstration site, and of the metagenomic analysis. These results, as a whole, are now being evaluated with a perspective of setting up 50 m3 biopiles.
