FENIX, THE PROJECT
This project consists of regenerating poor soils that have been abandoned for agricultural use using a bio-based soil improver
The product is a mixture of biochar and digestate developed to improve soils. This powerful soil amendment will be studied on different soil types in Europe to assess its potential for agricultural land regeneration.
A SUSTAINABLE BIOFERTILIZER
Combination of digestate and biochar for greater agronomic efficiency
Biochar from pyrolysis and digestate from methanization are mixed in different proportions to obtain a series of products, and the most effective and sustainable is defined. This soil amendment improves soil quality and carbon sequestration.
FENIX
A new life for bio-waste
as a sustainable soil amendment
OUR GOALS
The FENIX project will demonstrate the agronomic benefits of a soil amendment based on digestate and biochar in the regeneration of poor soils. With this project we contribute to the mitigation of climate change and sustainable waste management
Increasing the water-holding capacity of soils
Applying biochar to the soil keeps the water in it, making it more fertile
Improved soil aeration
The porous structure of biochar increases soil aeration, favoring the development of plant roots
Nutrient retention in the soil
The porosity of biochar makes it possible to fix nutrients and make them available to plants
Enrichment of microbial life
The carbon composition of the biochar will stimulate microbial activity and indirectly increase soil pH
