Pioneering environmental monitoring platform to transform the future of the Black Sea
A cutting-edge data platform designed to monitor, understand, and address the environmental challenges facing the Black Sea is one of several outcomes from a €9 million, European Commission-funded research and innovation project that will help the region thrive for years to come.
The Black Sea ‘System of Systems’ platform brings together, in one place, a unique combination of information that can help provide a better understanding of the detail around different challenges facing the Sea and its ecosystems – empowering everyone from researchers, industry and communities to respond.
The System was designed and built by researchers leading the Developing Optimal and Open Research Support for the Black Sea (DOORS) project, a four-year collaboration between 35 institutions across 15 countries linking science, policy and industry to support critical Black Sea regeneration.
As a one-stop-shop for data, the ‘System of Systems’ enables users including conservationists and businesses to identify pollution hotspots, develop improved nutrient management strategies, and engage stakeholders in reducing harmful inputs to rivers and the sea, such as pesticides and microplastics.
Professor Adrian Stanica, Coordinator of the H2020 DOORS Black Sea project, said: “The Black Sea was once regarded as the most polluted sea in Europe, due to decades of pollution, overfishing and the arrival of invasive species. Now, climate change and new pollutants risk jeopardising its fragile recovery.
“That’s why the DOORS project has developed tools to support the Black Sea region, and international community, to better understand and protect this vital resource, empowering policymakers and industry to take informed decisions, and stimulating businesses and citizens to embrace more sustainable ways of working”.
Alongside developing the System of Systems, the project worked across the region to support the development of a Blue Economy on and around the Black Sea: where marine and coastal resources are used sustainably to support economic prosperity. Partners in the consortium worked with businesses and entrepreneurs across the region to accelerate promising economic opportunities, while a dedicated working group championed these innovative prospects to a community of international investors.
The DOORS project also prioritised bringing the Black Sea closer to the 16 million people living around its 4,200km-long coastline through a combination of citizen science and ocean literacy initiatives, helping young people and communities to understand the Black Sea’s ecosystems and environment on their doorstep.
The project has also invested in training the next generation of researchers, through postgraduate programmes and hands-on experience on board research vessels, ensuring the groundwork is laid for future scientific exploration and stewardship.
A final message from the DOORS Project Coordinator
Across four years, the DOORS project has taken a significant leap forward in advancing the world’s knowledge and understanding of the Black Sea. Our researchers have developed in-depth insights on specific ecosystems and human pressures, as well as specific oceanographic aspects of the Black Sea. Colleagues have performed measurements and tests never before undertaken in the Black Sea basin, both during cruises and surveys, as well as by deploying underwater automatic stations and collecting specific data from satellites.
The data coming from the skies, from the coasts and from the sea itself has been integrated using powerful numerical models that have brought together information from all the hydrographic basins of rivers flowing into the Black Sea. This has allowed us to better foresee how climate change will affect the entire marine basin, including tributary rivers.
DOORS also pioneered the development of the Blue Economy concept in the region, from the evaluation of services offered by specific marine ecosystems to intensive training and mentorship supporting those who aspire to start sustainable businesses.
The DOORS Black Sea Special Interest Group has dedicated energy and efforts to help bridge the gap between budding entrepreneurs and prospective investors, as well as raising the overall image of the Black Sea as a place of economic opportunity.
Education and training have been other key areas of achievement for the project. DOORS experts dedicated considerable energies to building a Black Sea Masters programme, supporting the creation of a future ERASMUS+ project, and supporting training that brought early career researchers from Europe to the Black Sea region, and from the region to major laboratories elsewhere.
DOORS is also a trailblazer in terms of citizen science and ocean literacy activity. The project has succeeded, through its activities, in bringing coastal communities closer to the specific challenges facing the Black Sea.
In spite of the many difficulties that the project encountered, from Covid-19 to the war in Ukraine, all project partners went about their work with passion and dedication. As a result, the project has delivered beyond what it committed to achieve.
Thanks are due to the entire DOORS team, to the community of stakeholders with whom we have interacted across the past four years, and to all those who love the Black Sea. Our efforts are dedicated to them, and this remarkable part of the world. The DOORS project has now come to an end, but we shall all continue with this important mission!
Fighting Plastic Pollution: Innovations from Recycllux and Tresoil Biofuels SRL
This interview was conducted as part of the DOORS project Work Package 6 (WP6) activities, which focus on promoting entrepreneurship and innovation within the Blue Economy. It features two participants of the Black Sea Accelerator (BSA), a joint initiative of the Horizon2020-funded projects DOORS and BRIDGE-BS. The exchange took place on October 16, 2024, during the High-Tech Summit for the Black Sea (HTS4BS) held in Sofia, Bulgaria, organized by the BRIDGE-BS project.
The interview was carried out by Eleni Manousiadi (EM), DOORS WP6 co-leader, with the full and informed consent of both interviewees — Sorina Uleia, Co-founder and CEO at Recycllux, and Roger Preston, CEO at Tresoil Biofuels SRL. The aim was to highlight how both companies, through their participation in the Black Sea Accelerator, are contributing innovative solutions to tackle marine plastic pollution. The content has been used to showcase exemplary practices under the Blue Growth activities of DOORS and is published in accordance with all applicable data protection and ethical standards.
We sincerely thank Sorina Uleia (SU) and Roger Preston (RP) for sharing their insights and contributions. The following is the complete interview conducted between the three participants.
EM: It is a pleasure to be joined today by two distinguished innovators who are actively developing solutions to combat marine plastic pollution. To begin, could you each kindly introduce your company and elaborate on the key innovations you are implementing to address plastic waste, particularly in coastal and marine environments?
SU: At Recycllux, we build a data driven system that streamlines the marine plastic waste cleanup process, making it more efficient and transparent. We leverage AI, Earth Observation and blockchain. Our proprietary AI algorithms analyse the satellite data to identify plastic waste hotspots, and our blockchain- powered platform connects stakeholders, companies and administrations, fishermen, NGOs and, recyclers for end-to-end interventions. Blockchain enables a full chain of custody of marine plastic waste.
RP: I am the CEO of the Tresoil Biofuels SRL creator of the TRESOILPower2X “Waste to Energy project”, our company is a sustainable waste to energy solution that converts unrecyclable waste plastics and end of life tires into green hydrogen, and sustainable derivatives such as ammonia. The TRESOILPower2X produces stand-alone, continuous energy 24/7/365 non-stop (Hydrogen and Electricity): we also produce carbon black which has excellent conductive properties, it is used as a component for magnetic tapes, semiconductors and many other materials for new industry technologies. The latest technologies involve carbon in reverse osmosis for desalination.
The project uses Digital Twins technologies to create a virtual model to deploy modular, scalable, replicable net zero emission plants prior to physical construction resulting in cost savings of up to 40%. Digital Twin decision making for real time performance monitoring, and risk management. The goal is to deploy modular, scalable, replicated zero emission plants along the Danube River and in European cities to support green hydrogen production to address both waste management and clean energy demands.
Our process can utilize over 200 different types of unrecyclable plastic and end-of-life tires feedstocks, converting waste materials into valuable mobility and industry energy. This not only helps with waste management but also reduces the reliance on fossil fuels and imported products. Our first plant on the Danube River, Romania serves multiple purposes, from ongoing process optimization to producing bespoke net zero fuels for customer applications.
Our production configuration can easily fit into shipping containers, allowing us to set up production facilities or ‘microfactories’ wherever they are needed, allowing us to integrate into existing production supply chains. This enables us to reduce shipping costs and fulfilment timelines and deliver cheaper than existing wholesale prices.
Our modular approach allows for the quick setup of production facilities, capable of scaling to meet large volume demands. This ensures that we can supply high-quality fuels and solid carbon at competitive prices, supporting the growing market needs. By recycling waste plastic and producing hydrogen and electricity, our process contributes to a sustainable future.
EM: Of course, Mr. Preston, we have known Tresoil Biofuels through the Black Sea Accelerator initiative, supported by DOORS and BRIDGE-BS. We also had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Uleia from Recycllux during the first DOORS Stakeholder Conference. I know you two met during that event. How did that meeting influence your thinking about collaboration?
SU: The Black Sea Accelerator highlighted the potential synergy between our technologies. While Recycllux focuses on identifying and collecting the marine plastic waste, Roger’s solution provides a method for processing plastics. The meeting opened the door for us to explore how our systems can complement each other and to address the full life cycle of plastic waste.
RP: Exactly. Mrs. Uleia and I have had several discussions and collaboration for our two projects together. We are having further meetings to explore a mutual collaboration opportunity beneficial to both our projects.
EM: Mrs. Uleia, could you tell us more about how AI technology utilized by Recycllux detects plastic in the sea? What type of information or data would help enhance environmental cleanup efforts?
SU: So, our AI technology analyses the satellite images from the European Space Agency (ESA) Copernicus program (the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellites), to detect plastic waste spots in the seas. Machine-learning algorithms detect the specific spectral signatures of plastic waste accumulations. We also use ground-truth verifications (marine field data) to enhance detection accuracy. We provide key insights into the location and concentration of plastic waste, helping guide clean-up efforts effectively.
EM: Mr. Preston, could you please explain to us how your company’s process works to convert the non-recyclable plastic into the clean energy and what could make, what is already making the solution standing out in the renewable energy space?
RP: TRESOIPower2X is an innovative, decentralized, small scale, disruptive technology low-cost solution for processing municipal and commercial waste into a hydrogen transport mobility fuel with zero emission. Clients are able to divest themselves of waste they produce on a daily basis, and take advantage of self-produced hydrogen and electricity for its own use. The TRESOIPower2X process can generate its own electricity, and in excess of 6 tonnes of road quality fuel from 50 tonnes per day of plastic waste.
TRESOILPower2X waste-to-energy (WtE) plant utilizes advanced hybrid gasification /pyrolysis technology to convert waste plastic into high-quality synthetic gas and other valuable bi-fuel and green products. Through a controlled thermal oxygen starved decomposition process, we can efficiently extract H2 energy from plastic waste while minimizing harmful emissions. Our technology ensures a circular economy management approach by reducing waste, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, contributing to cleaner air and solving environment pollution; and indiscriminate waste dumping into landfill/illegal dumps or being incinerated.
EM: How do you see your impact so far — and what do you consider your most notable contributions to tackling plastic pollution?
SU: We’ve achieved promising results, particularly through establishing partnerships along the Romanian Black Sea coast. A successful intervention in the Black Sea will highlight how local collaborations combined with advanced technology can create a significant environmental and economic impact, setting a standard for future efforts. According to our EIT CLIMATE-KIC commissioned impact analysis at scale, our interventions could avoid more than 5 million tons of CO2 annually.
RP: At TRESOIL we are eliminating a huge problem, which is unrecyclable plastic and end-of-life tires. We are turning this toxic problem into a zero-emission fuel for mobility, for industry, as well as ammonia for fertilizer production. Waste has many uses, and we can save all this plastic by going to landfills, which will take hundreds of years that keeps emitting greenhouse gases. We immediately eradicate it. We stop it going to incineration or ending up in our oceans.
EM: Both companies contribute to the global fight against plastic pollution. Do you also see your work contributing to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?
SU:. Absolutely. Our work directly contributes to SDG 14 (Life Below Water) and SDG 13 (Climate Action) by reducing marine pollution and lowering the carbon footprint. When we remove plastic from the sea, we stop stored carbon from being released and help the sea do its job in absorbing CO2, which is key in the fight against climate change. Additionally, our efforts indirectly support SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by preventing plastic contamination in the food chain and reducing the associated health risks.
RP: For us, it's about enabling 24/7 green energy generation from waste plastic — not just during sunlight hours like solar farms. The TRESOILPower2X competitive advantage; because the input feedstock is at an extremely low cost and in many cases free of charge, we will produce low-cost energy 24/7 where it is required. Turning a toxic waste problem into revenue creating exportable products, and creating new sustainable job opportunities.
EM: What are some of the biggest challenges each of your business faces in scaling your solutions, whether it's AI detection technology or turning waste into energy?
SU: Our main challenge is securing funding to demonstrate the solution and scale up. We have the plan and partners for our Black Sea intervention. Convincing stakeholders to adopt data-driven methods is a challenge, but we aim to build trust through our pilot's success.
RP: For scaling the waste-to-energy solution, the biggest challenges include higher costs of green hydrogen/ammonia compared to fossil alternatives, risk of delayed project implementation, lack of sustainable infrastructure and vested interests like oil and gas lobbying. For scaling AI detection (specifically the Digital Twin), challenges include ensuring accurate data capture, integrating across disparate systems while maintaining data integrity and balancing model complexity with ease-of-use non-technical stakeholders.
EM: Do you see any potential opportunities to collaborate, given that one of you identifies plastic pollution and the other deals with processing unrecyclable plastics?
SU: Yes. We can identify and collect the marine plastic waste, and Roger’s solution can ensure that unrecyclable plastics are processed into energy, closing the loop on plastic waste management.
RP: Yes, there is strong collaboration potential since Tresoil Power2X can directly use the identified and then collect non-recyclable plastic waste to produce green hydrogen, ammonia and carbon black.
EM: How do you envision the future of plastic waste management and the role your respective technologies will play in it over the next 5–10 years?
SU: The success of the Black Sea pilot will be a key milestone, demonstrating the effectiveness of our solution and paving the way for our growth. By 2030, our goal is to collect 5,000 tons of plastic, reducing 1% of the 500,000 tons dumped annually in EU seas. From a technological standpoint, I see AI-driven systems becoming standard in identifying and managing waste hotspots. In the future, we plan to incorporate more real-time data and predictive modelling to make cleanups even more efficient and proactive.
RP: The future will move towards local, modular, stand-alone waste-to-energy facilities that eradicate unrecyclable plastics while producing green fuels and carbon-negative materials. Digital Twins will optimize design and scalability, making clean energy generation from plastic waste faster and cheaper.
EM: Which are your lessons learned when you tried to innovate in sustainability, circular economy, and environmental sectors?
SU: Innovation in this space takes patience and persistence. The key is demonstrating tangible results and building partnerships. Collaboration is crucial - no single solution can solve the plastic waste crisis. Working with innovators like Roger is essential to creating a holistic approach that addresses the problem from all angles.
RP: We learned that proactive risk management, adaptability, and early stakeholder engagement are crucial. Using Digital Twins helped avoid costly mistakes. Collaboration with innovators like Sorina has proven essential to building stronger, scalable solutions.
