The Alliance for Environmental Bioremediation (ALL4BIOREM) continues to expand, bringing together innovative solutions for cleaner and healthier environments. We now have 10 European projects dedicated to advancing bioremediation technologies.
Let me introduce our newest members:
pHYBi – phytomanagement for a bio-based textile industry
pHYBi is a Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) funded initiative that aims to combine the phytoremediation of polluted soils with the valorisation of lignocellulosic biomass to contribute to soil health and to a bio-based circular textile industry.
The key elements of the pHYBi concept are:
Investigation and monitoring of existing and newly established phytomanagement pilot sites.
Testing, optimising, and validating a set of phytomanagement strategies based on woody and herbaceous industrial crops at selected field sites (TRL 5).
Extraction and valorisation of lignocellulosic fractions and quality characterisation for utilisation in textile applications.
Deployment of a Virtual Replication Tool for simulating the phytomanagement process in other European territories and to link biomass producers with the biorefinery industry.
Guidelines, recommendations and thresholds for the replication of pHYBi's case studies.
Proving the technical, economic, social, and environmental feasibility and positive impact of the pHYBi processes.

LIFE MySOIL – competitive and innovative technology to demonstrate the feasibility of mycoremediation to remediate all petroleum-derived organic pollutants from aged industrial contaminated soils.
The LIFE MySOIL project develops a competitive and innovative technology to demonstrate the feasibility of mycoremediation to remediate all petroleum-derived organic pollutants from aged industrial contaminated soils.
Environmental objectives:
Remove all petroleum-polluted from contaminated soils
To remove all petroleum-derived organic pollutants from aged industrial contaminated soils up to the required clean-up goals for soil reuse.
Mycoremediation as a key
To promote and demonstrate mycoremediation as a key bioremediation technology.
Reduce environmental impacts
To reduce the environmental impacts of mycoremediation processes in comparison with conventional technologies.
Circular economy
To promote the principle of a circular economy, through the soil recovery (instead of landfilling) and the use of agro-industrial by-products and urban green waste.

IASIS – Curing contaminated and saline land with Industrial crops and producing biomass for high-value applications.
IASIS is a Horizon Europe project innovative phytomanagement solutions for contaminated and saline land with the use of industrial crops, while producing intermediate and high-value end products for the bio-based economy.
Healing the land and empowering farmers
The IASIS project seeks to provide solutions for curing contaminated and saline land through phytomanagement, using selected high-yielding, non-food (industrial) crops. These crops will provide biomass feedstock to develop economically viable bio-based value chains of intermediate and end products, using a cascading biorefinery approach.

BIOREM: Systems Biology, Artificial Intelligence and Advanced BiOtechnology Approaches to Improve Soil BioREMediation.
BIOREM is an integrated action conformed by experts in microbial systems biology, artificial intelligence tools and environmental sciences that will work together to gain knowledge in the identification of responsible microbial metabolic routes within natural and synthetic consortia for the degradation of target contaminants.
The project will explore the combined effects of bioremediation strategies like bioaugmentation, biostimulation, and microbial-assisted phytoremediation, linking pollutant removal to microbial pathways.
Using High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI, predictive models for TPH and PAH remediation will be developed to improve efficiency through environmental data analysis. Mathematical models will integrate key microbial players and conditions to design tailored removal strategies for polluted sites.
ALL4BIOREM - soil, seawater and groundwater pollution remediation for a healthier Europe.
ALL4BIOREM is a collaborative initiative aimed at advancing bioremediation technologies and promoting sustainable soil restoration practices. The ALL4BIOREM Cluster unites multiple European projects working towards the shared goal of improving bioremediation techniques. It fosters knowledge exchange, synergies, and collaboration between research institutions, industry experts, and policymakers to enhance the effectiveness of soil decontamination efforts.
The Alliance for Environmental Bioremediation – ALL4BIOREM – cluster gathers 10 bioremediation projects funded by the European Commision under various funding programmes: Nymphe, MIBIREM, SYMBIOREM Project, EDAPHOS, ISLANDR Project, BIOSYSMO Project, pHYBi Project, IASIS Project, LIFE MySOIL and BIOREM.
