During the first semester of the Puerto Residuo 0 project (January-June 2024), the selection, sampling and characterization activities of the waste that will be used to prepare the artificial soil have been carried out. In addition, the dredged sediment that will be used and the soil where the pilot plot will be implemented were analyzed. These results will allow us to design the most appropriate artificial soil for the pilot plot in the second half of the project. One of the project activities is to evaluate the greenhouse gas emissions mitigation potential of artificial soils made from dredged sediment. During the first semester, the gases emitted by the selected sediment have already been quantified. In the image you can see the experiment to sample gases in the laboratory of the Uxafores research group, at the USC Campus Lugo. ...

Pazo de Señorans is a pioneering winery in many things under the Rias Baixas Denomination: its wine selection from adding or recovering eucalyptus soil for the vineyard with, for example, the help of turnip tops. Moreover it has always taken care to maintain a well-looked-after environment with a spectacular garden with a large variety of tree and shrub species. The innovative element is the residue water purification system that it has had since last year. It is a wetland with artificial soils, designed from residues, which allows the use of a system based on biological principles, obtaining a channel suitable for discharge into rivers or that can be used for irrigating the vineyards. The wetland is a system that has been implemented for the last few years in Pazo de Señorans, where the discharge is high in organic matter. At Pazo de Señorans its behaviour...
