Rice husk transformed into a filter to remove contaminants in the water

Technological offers
Scientists from the Institute of Natural Resources and Agrobiology of Seville, in collaboration with the Technische Universität Berlin, have used rice husk, a waste product from rice cultivation abundantly produced in Spain, as a filter for the removal of organic contaminants in water treatment plants. The process generates more efficient filters than the commercial activated carbons used nowadays.

Scientists design a biodegradable device for tuna fisheries

Technological offers
A group of experts from the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM) of Barcelona has designed a biodegradable device to fish tuna that could eventually replace the plastic devices currently used for this aim. The initiative is part of a project carried out in collaboration with the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) that seeks to make fishing practices more sustainable.

Automated system for an efficient biomonitoring of water quality

Technological offers
Scientists of the CSIC and the Universidad de Castilla La Mancha have developed a low cost system for the identification of biological specimens. It is an automated and programmable prototype, which enables the determination of water quality indexes.

Device for restoring soils and creating vegetation covers

Technological offers
A CSIC research team has created a device for restoring degraded or polluted soils and creating vegetation covers. It can be adapted to the needs of different soils and ecosystems, as the amendments into its two different compartments can be adapted to the local soil to restore.

Obtained a bionanohybrid material for quick removal of organic pollutants

Technological offers

Scientists from the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry (ICP-CSIC) have synthesized a bionanohybrid material, composed of an enzyme and an iron carbonate nanorods structure. It allows the complete elimination of organic pollutants in extremely short times.

Software calculates the reproductive potential of fish

Technological offers
The Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas de Vigo has led the development of a software that enables the automatic calculation of fish reproductive potential. The software is called “Govocitos” and is distributed free of charge. It may improve the projections of fish stocks and their preservation.

A mustard variety for biodiesel production

Technological offers
Scientists at the CSIC's Instituto de Agricultura Sostenible have developed a mustard variety very resistant to draught and heat. It can be used for biodiesel production in marginal farmlands thus avoiding competence with food crops. Industrial partners are sought for license agreements.

Biomass and high value molecules from mustard

Technological offers
The CSIC’S Instituto de Agricultura Sostenible has obtained and patented a new mustard plant variety that can be used for simultaneously obtaining biomass and high-value compounds. Seed and biomass companies are sought for license agreements.

Meet the olives trees through their pollen

Technological offers
Spanish scientists at the Estación Experimental del Zaidín, in Granada, have developed a method to genetically identify the variety of olives trees through their pollen.
