We are rebranding! From BRT to BRT!

The Biogas Research Team is upgrading to BioResources and Technology (From BRT to BRT)

We are pleased to announce our Biogas Research Team (BRT) rebranding to the BioResources and Technology (BRT) Division. Simply from BRT to BRT. This evolution marks a milestone in our journey, reflecting the broadening scope and increasing complexity of our research and development activities. While biogas remains at the heart of our work, our rebranding to BioResources and Technology better covers the diversity of our research, the projects and our commitment to sustainable solutions for a rapidly changing world.

New paper published! Soil Contamination by Heavy Metals and Radionuclides and Related Bioremediation Techniques

Heavy metals and radionuclides are all around us in the environment. We ourselves contribute to these types of pollution through our industry. However, some accidents and disasters result in the release of these toxic substances into the environment at a far greater scale. Because of this, it is increasingly important to know how radionuclides and heavy metals are distributed in nature and under human influence. We need to know what measures can be taken to reduce their distribution in the ecosystem to improve the condition of soils. Our article was devoted to these problems.
