Relationship between soil CO2 emissions and remediation of hydrocarbons in the european BIOXISOIL project

The EU LIFE+ Programme BIOXISOIL project examines a new scenario for the decontamination of heavy hydrocarbons and encompasses scientific, ecological and social criteria. For this purpose, it combines innovative technologies, based on the metabolic capacity of plants and microorganisms, with in situ chemical oxidation. One of the project goals is to determine the possible relationship between remediation and soil CO2 emissions.
