Sectors of
intervention

It carries out soil reclamation and environmental protection works, favoring the use of innovative technologies and cutting-edge machinery.

He creates works of emergency safety measures (M.I.S.E.), permanent safety measures (M.I.S.P.), landfills. Together with the Belgian partner Haemers Technologies, Icaro Ecology creates thermal desorption plants in situ using a specific technique, based on thermodynamic principles, which involves a system of gas-fueled burners capable of providing heat to the ground by conduction. In addition, a management system for contaminants removed from the soil by suction guarantees the restoration of the treated sites and the prevention of air pollution due to any dispersion of pollutants.

Some pros

  • Clean soil quickly and permanently
  • Reduction in the extraction of quarry materials
  • Elimination of transportation to landfill
  • Environmental and economic sustainability
  • CO reduction
  • Enhancement of the principles of the circular economy
  • Flexible system, easy to transport, install and dismantle.

In this sector, the research.

Icaro Ecology has launched an industrial Doctorate aimed precisely at deepening the efficiency of the environmental remediation process in a green key.

Performs works construction, maintenance of industrial plants.
Carry out maintenance work on roads and buildings inc.a.
He also works in the river sector, dealing with the arrangement of natural or artificial waterways. He builds renewable energy plants.

Our strength

In this sector it takes on importance innovation.

Icaro Ecology acts with a view to sustainability, identifying opportunities for reusing material for waste reduction and guaranteeing the use of innovative and technologically advanced work equipment.

They are our collaborators, technical staff dedicated, with twenty years of experience, specialized, fast, punctual in compliance with regulations and with great problem solving skills.

A significant step in the growth path of Icaro Ecology is the birth of the Research and Development Area (R&D), designed to bring together and enhance the company's innovative skills in a unit dedicated to research, technological development and the identification of new growth opportunities.

The work of the area is divided into several fronts: technical-scientific study and in-depth analysis, development of new project ideas, monitoring of regional, national and European calls for tenders, identification of funding opportunities.

Today the area oversees 8 active projects, distributed across 5 thematic lines.

  • Thermal desorption, with research activities aimed at decarbonisation and the reduction of emissions from industrial thermal processes
  • Bioeconomy, with the Nectar Biofuels project for the production of km₀ feedstock
  • Geothermal energy, to integrate decarbonisation, valorisation of energy resources and sustainable development
  • Green hydrogen, to experiment with the use of low-emission energy carriers in industrial processes
  • Water purification, to develop innovative technologies and solutions for the treatment of water resources

A central role in research activities is played by collaboration with the academic world, which today involves 3 universities.

The partnership with the Kore University of Enna, active since 2022, led to an industrial doctorate in environmental engineering on thermal desorption powered by concentrated solar energy and, more recently, to a research grant dedicated to thermal desorption powered by hydrogen-methane mixtures. Two new research projects are also being studied with the university, which Icaro Ecology intends to develop through future doctoral courses.

A discussion is underway with the University of Catania, partner since 2024 on a doctorate dedicated to the energy and environmental optimization of heat treatments, for new joint research activities.

A dialogue has been initiated with the University of Palermo with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, to build a technical-scientific collaboration on new areas of common interest.

Alongside the development of projects, the area carries out constant scouting for awards, challenges and Calls for Innovation: opportunities to present the solutions developed by Icaro Ecology, give visibility to company skills and engage with companies, research bodies, universities and other players in the innovation ecosystem. Participation in these initiatives is also a way to build new partnerships, intercept development opportunities and insert company projects into networks and programs dedicated to innovation.

Through research, scientific collaborations, project development and participation in innovation ecosystems, Icaro Ecology aims to transform knowledge and experimentation into new technologies, processes and operational models applicable to the reclamation and environmental services sector, strengthening its contribution to decarbonisation, the circular economy and the energy transition.
