Is one #duckweed species more suited than the other to grow on pig #manure? 🤔

That is what we are assessing in a series of tolerance tests! Spoiler alert: yes, it seems some species are better for this application 🤩

We hope to publish these results soon, so follow us for more

Happy #WorldAlgaeDay!

To celebrate these amazing organisms, we would like to share our new addition dedicated to our algae research: a laminar flow hood 🤩

It is already being used for our experiments on recycled nutrients to increase the sustainability of algae cultivation💪

Our PhD student, Marie Lambert, gave an oral presentation at the #RETASTE conference on introducing #duckweed as a novel crop in Flandres!

One of our current challenges is the preservation of duckweed, as it contains a lot of moisture. One promising solution? Ensiling💡

We are evaluating novel bio-based #fertilizers in the #Renu2cycle project

The performance of mineral concentrate + ammonium sulfate, pig urine, and the liquid fraction of pig slurry is being compared to conventional mineral fertilizers in pot trials🤩

[WalNUT @walnut_project]

Last week #WalNUT_eu held a parallel session called 'Turning Waste water into Resources: Cutting-Edge Technologies for Sustainable Nutrient Recovery“' at ESNI 2024 in Brussels

The focus was on #nutrientrecovery technologies that are being developed within the project.

[SEA2LAND H2020 🇪🇺 @Sea2Land]

Last week our partners from @ResearchUGent presented a poster at the #ESNIConference2024, organized by @Bioref_Cluster in Brussels.
📜"Nutrient availability and greenhouse gas emissions from #biobasedfertilizers under controlled conditions".

🌟Day 2 of #ESNI2024 kicked off with Dr. Evi Michels (@ugent ) setting the stage.

Mauro Cordella (DG ENV) spoke on "Environmental Footprint Methods," sparking engaging Q&A.

@LudwigHermann followed with insights on reconciling the Green Deal & economic systems.

Stay tuned!🚀

Can our phosphorous-rich bio-based #fertilizers from the #digestates of tomato waste and cow #manure substitute commercial P fertilizers?🤔

We are testing this in a pot trial with beans!

Curious about the results? Stay tuned for updates
