Blue Synergy’s Sustainability Engineer, Patricio Cano, participated in the 1st International Life Cycle Assessment Symposium last June in Barcelona, presenting the company’s work in the EU-funded BIOSYSMO Project.

This international event, organised by Sostenipra, at the Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, brought together researchers, academics, and professionals to discuss the role of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in evaluating innovative strategies for sustainable food production.

Patricio’s presentation focused on the project’s LCA results on:

• Water phytoremediation at laboratory scale.
• Water phytoremediation at laboratory scale – biodiversity approach.
• Pump and Treat Technology at full scale.
• Pump and Treat technology at full scale -biodiversity approach.

And the project’s social-LCA results for Pump and Treat technology at full scale.

His insights highlighted the importance of integrating biodiversity and social dimensions into environmental assessments for more holistic sustainability strategies.

About the project: BIOSYSMO, coordinated by IDENER.AI, is developing computationally-assisted biosystems—combinations of bacteria, fungi, and plants—to degrade and sequester complex pollutants from contaminated environments. Discover more at: https://www.biosysmo.eu/

Blue Synergy SL is a proud partner of the BIOSYSMO Project, and as such, it is committed to delivering sustainable profitability through efficient innovation.

Recently, the Blue Synergy team attended the 8th SECRETed Project H2020 general assembly, which took place in the amazing city of Athens, Greece.

✅ During the assembly and as the project approaches its conclusion, all consortium partners had the opportunity to present their progress towards their assigned tasks and share the next steps for the ones that are still active.

✅ On behalf of Blue Synergy, our sustainability engineer, Sebastián Ospina Corral, presented the latest updates on the sustainability assessments of the project, highlighting the importance of this aspect for SECRETed. On the other hand, the Social Awareness and Consumer Acceptance final updates were delivered by our Social Researcher and Communication Specialist, Julio Morales Daza, who also presented the content for the final and public deliverable on the matter.

Blue Synergy would want to thank and congratulate SECRETed’s partner EXELISIS IKE and Dr. Kostas Pyrgakis, for impeccably organising and hosting the meeting at the Athens University History Museum, located in one of the oldest residential buildings still standing in Athens today, situated beneath the imposing heights of the Acropolis with a panoramic view of the old city centre.

Stay tuned for more updates on the progress and insights from this last stretch of SECRETed.

Recently, the POWERSAT consortium gathered in beautiful Heraklion, Greece, for a productive two-day General Assembly. The meeting was dedicated to in-depth discussions around the progress of the project’s tasks, with technical presentations advancing our understanding of key system challenges.

Our Sustainability Engineer, Sebastián Ospina Corral, brought fresh momentum to the project’s sustainability goals with his presentation on alternative materials, a critical step toward enhancing the project’s eco-design goals, which sparked conversations among the partners and allowed the setting of follow-up actions on the topic. The partners’ feedback collected from the next steps is going to be crucial to the project’s narrative and philosophy around sustainability.

Finally, Blue Synergy celebrates all project partners for their excellent work: Thales, University College Cork, National Institute for Research and Development in Microtechnologies – IMT Bucharest, Uppsala University, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH) and FADO.io. Together, we’re shaping the future of sustainable space power systems.

Blue Synergy SL is proud to be a partner at the POWERSAT Project. We will bring more updates from the project after the next General Assembly in Gothenburg, Sweden, later this year.

This month, Blue Synergy SL participated in the Eyes Hearts Hands Project General Assembly in Maia, Portugal. Our Social Researcher and Communication Specialist, Julio Morales Daza, was there and witnessed the incredible developments of this exciting project. 

Over three days, the project partners were able to: 

Attend a dedicated New European Bauhaus (NEB) event, which included contributions from the Maia Municipality, the ANI | Agência Nacional de Inovação, Bauhaus of the Seas Sails, and Neiva Community Lab.

Present the project’s developments and the following steps for the final months of activity. On the other hand, the Lighthouses shared their progress, which entails real-life, positive impact for their communities.

Visit the Sobreiro district, currently undergoing renovation as part of EHHUR’s urban regeneration efforts. 

Participate in workshops with the Lighthouses, to encourage feedback, talk about lessons learned and to plan the best way forward for the final months (and the aftermath) of the project. 

As the project is reaching its final stage, we are very proud to be part and contribute to it, and we are sure that Eyes Hearts Hands will meet the expectations of creating beautiful, sustainable and innovative spaces for the different communities that it works with.
