Sustainable development objectives | Agenda ONU 2023

Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all

Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation

Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

The project, upon completion, will include a pre-treatment section where the incoming waste will undergo a pressing phase. The resulting liquor will feed into an anaerobic digestion section, where biogas will be produced and subsequently refined into biomethane. The digestate will then be directed to a mixing section. The mix of digestate and bulking agent will be sent for composting, which will involve treatment in biocells, a maturation phase, and a subsequent refinement phase aimed at producing compost.
