Eni and the Bioenergy Association for Sustainable Development, affiliated with the Ministry of Environment of Egypt, signed in Cairo a cooperation agreement to prepare a comprehensive feasibility study for establishing biogas production units based on the treatment of animal and agricultural waste.
The joint study will
assess the feasibility of building a biodigestion plant capable
of treating agricultural and animal waste, particularly from
livestock farming.
The biogas produced by biodigestion can
generate renewable electricity and heat, while also producing higher-value
organic fertilisers for use in agriculture, further contributing to the
circular economy.
The initiative would also reduce greenhouse
gas emissions from agricultural waste and byproducts, while generating high
quality carbon credits.
The signing
ceremony took place in the presence of Karim Badawi, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, and Dr Manal
Awad, Minister of Local Development and Acting Minister of Environment. -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
