through advanced nutrient removal technology based on twin-layer immobilised cultivation of microalgae. In this technology, microalgae microalgae are immobilised by self-adhesion on a wet, culture for microporous ultrathin substrate (the substrate layer). A second layer, which consists of a macroporous fibrous structure (the source layer), will provide and distribute production the growth medium. Secondly, the project also plans to address the shortage of phosphorus by developing produced and testing biofertilisers derived from the remaining microalgae. The fertiliser will meet high agronomical standards of sustainable farming as well as the requirements of current and future EU regulations. The trials will be conducted in microplots for two different crops in northern Italy and four different crops in Spain.
