Overall Goal

Promote the circular economy in the management of organic waste and by-products generated by the agricultural and agri-food industries of the Macaronesian Region through anaerobic digestion for biogas production and nutrient recycling.

However, certain activities are framed in three specific goals.

Identification, quantification and characterization of organic waste and by-products for the implementation of circular economy and energy recovery strategies. Current status in the management of waste in the Region, affected areas and potential for biogas generation.

 

Activity 2.1.1 Identification, quantification and characterization of organic waste and by-products and potential for the application of circular economy and energy recovery strategies.
Activity 2.1.2 Study of the territorial, environmental and energy regulation of each participating region that affects the recovery of waste and organic by-products of greater interest in each region and the use of digestate in agricultural soils. Development of regional guides.
Activity 2.1.3 Experimental tests with mixtures of waste and organic by-products for their valorization and the application of principles of circular economy through anaerobic digestion.

Demonstration activities for the implementation of the circular economy in the primary sector and its transformation chain and techno-economic viability.

 

Activity 2.2.1 Demonstration activities in the Canary Islands and Madeira for the implementation of the circular economy in the management of by-products and organic waste.
Activity 2.2.2 Demonstration activity in Cape Verde for the implementation of the circular economy in the management of waste and organic by-products.
Activity 2.2.3 Techno-economic evaluation of demonstration activities. Support to companies interested in implementing circular economy strategies for the management of by-products and organic waste.

Interregional cooperation network in circular economy, recovery and use of by-products and organic waste.

 

Activity 2.3.1
Macaronesian Network for the promotion of the circular and green economy in the primary and agro-industrial sector.
