The Mi-Hy and CONFETI Project EU projects came together at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, sharing cutting-edge tech on CO2 & nitrogen valorization. The workshop centered on advancing sustainable energy solutions and agricultural practices through innovative technologies.
The first day showcased detailed presentations on each project’s technological foundations, including microbial fuel cell-driven urea production and new nitrate reduction methods. Attendees also toured cutting-edge research facilities at UAB, such as the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA-UAB) and the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC), which are at the forefront of sustainable technology advancements.
Day two continued with discussions on microbial communities for energy generation and the latest developments in fuel cell design. Participants explored potential future collaborations and shared key insights from the projects’ development stages. In addition to scientific discourse, the workshop also focused on essential policy strategies to support innovation in carbon and nitrogen management, aiming to accelerate the transition to more sustainable energy and agricultural systems.
The joint event highlighted advanced technologies such as microbial fuel cells, hydroponics and electrobiosynthesis, along with photochemical devices to produce nitrogen-based fertilizers. Participants shared insights, toured facilities, and discussed future collaboration opportunities aimed at enhancing sustainability. A key step toward sustainable agriculture and energy solutions!
