CETENMA is a Spanish Technology Centre for Energy and Environment working between applied research, innovation and market uptake, supporting companies, public authorities and European consortia in developing solutions for a sustainable bioeconomy, healthy ecosystems and low-impact production systems.
Our work spans:
♻️ Circular Bioeconomy
Circular bio-based solutions across biomass and organic waste value chains, including waste-to-product processes, biorefineries and urban circular bioeconomy models. Coordinator of Horizon Europe projects such as HOOP, supporting cities and regions in valorising biowaste and wastewater streams.
🌾 Soil Health
Active in the EU Soil Mission through iCOSHELLs and the GREENNOMED Living Lab, one of the first Soil Living Labs in Europe, co-creating solutions for soil restoration, biodiversity, nutrient cycling and low-input agriculture.
💧 Water Treatment & 🔁 Waste Valorisation
Advanced water treatment and resource recovery from wastewater, reclaimed water, industrial effluents and organic residues, enabling nutrient recovery, water reuse and production of circular fertilisers. Coordinator of Horizon Europe NPOWER.
🔥 Renewable Gases
Biogas, biomethane and renewable gas upgrading and integration supporting energy and industrial decarbonisation.
📊 Environmental Performance
LCA, carbon footprint and sustainability indicators supporting eco-design and decision-making.
🌍 Climate Change
Nature-positive and place-based approaches combining regenerative agriculture, circular bioeconomy and rural transition (e.g. SPARTARIA, Rural Transition Labs).
⚡ Decarbonisation
Renewable energy integration, circular processes and low-carbon technologies, combined with circular capacity building and green acceleration.
🧪 From Lab to Market
Multidisciplinary labs and pilots in water, biorefinery, renewable gases and energy, linking technology development to real-world demonstration and exploitation.
📣 Impact & Engagement
Strategic roadmaps, stakeholder engagement and communication & dissemination.
🤝 Open to collaborations for Horizon Europe Cluster 6 proposals in soil, bioeconomy, nutrients, water and climate-neutral solutions.
