The area of TECNALIA involved in the BIOCOMEM project will be the Advanced Materials and Processes for Energy & Environment Business Area, a multidisciplinary group of 70 researchers dedicated to R&D in materials and processes which are critical to strengthen an energy efficient model and low carbon economy. It is organized into six different research groups closely interconnected: Sustainable Chemistry, Surface Engineering, Waste Valorisation, Membrane Technology and Process Intensification, Materials for Emerging applications and Materials for Extreme Conditions. The Group is focused on the selection, evaluation, development and improvement for materials and its processes for different applications, so a variety of highly specialized relevant infrastructures (i.e.: pilot plants) and laboratories have been designed and constructed. The two groups directly involved in BIOCOMEM project will be the Membrane Technology and Process Intensification group and the Sustainable Chemistry Group.
