Water, Air & Soil
R&D to enhance the competitiveness of businesses through better management of water, air and soil and associated resources
Experience
Eurecat develops and optimises technologies and processes to improve the management of water, soil and air and associated resources. We conduct research, development and innovation projects with businesses across all industries to enhance economic, environmental and social sustainability.
We use advanced modelling and experimental tools at various scales (laboratory, pilot plant and real scale) to develop and validate new technologies and their applications. We work with a wide range of technologies for treating pollutants to mitigate their release into the natural environment and also for resource recovery and to support the transition to a circular economy.
We design pilot projects and procedures tailored to businesses, thereby reducing the risk inherent to R&D by gradual implementation from conceptualisation to rollout through all development stages.
Our Water, Air and Soil Unit’s knowhow coupled with the capabilities of Eurecat’s technology units enables us to deliver solutions for complex and specific problems across a wide range of sectors including water treatment, chemicals, food and agriculture, pharmaceuticals and materials processing and capital equipment.

BATTECH raises over €4 million to develop batteries and recycle materials for electric vehicles
BATTECH, the leading battery R&D and innovation centre in southern Europe, has kicked off four strategic European projects this quarter worth more than €4 million. They are designed to unlock sustainability and the circularity of materials in the electric mobility value chain by improving the recovery of lithium-ion battery [...]
Creating lighter, more sustainable electric vehicle batteries free from critical materials such as cobalt
BATTECH, southern Europe’s leading centre in battery R&D, is taking part in the Battery Show Europe fair, held this week in Stuttgart, where it will present the latest innovations in the field of e-mobility, with projects aimed at developing batteries for electric vehicles that are lighter, more sustainable and [...]
Green hydrogen, the use of biogas, gas capture, batteries, new materials and digitalisation, among the new technological advances that drive decarbonisation
The technologies that facilitate decarbonisation ‘are varied and it’s very important to reduce their costs and increase their robustness’, based on green hydrogen, the use of biogas, the development of batteries to store renewable energy, advanced technologies to separate and capture gases, new materials and digital technologies, according to [...]
