Start year 2012 End year 2016 Funding (€) € 12,442,645 Website www.killspill.eu/ Summary KillSpill delivers innovative (bio)technologies, which can be integrated into state-of-the-art actions currently used to clean-up oil spills.
It also develops appropriate tools for first response, follow-up, and longer-term actions, specifically tailored to a broad range of different kinds of oil spills.
The products and technologies are being fieldtested in open sea oil spills and large mesocosms to identify performance champions. The (bio)tools
are assessed using cutting-edge analytics, biosensors, and omics and checked for eco-efficiency to merit green label. They will also be benchmarked against current industry solutions.
A key strength of Kill●Spill is the possibility to directly implement eveloped technologies at two reference sites with support of the SMEs. Solutions will be promoted through conferences and seminars, aiming at their fast ptake within the European spill industry.
Next to tools, techniques and processes Kill●Spill will deliver frameworks for structuring and making evidence-based decisions for the most sustainable and appropriate oil spills clean-up measures.
