ECOLOOP

Integrating diverse renewable energy sources, optimising energy needs, and improving waste and land management in rural areas are essential for meeting local sustainability goals and demand for electricity, heating, cooling, and transportation resources. The EU-funded project ECOLOOP focuses on reducing carbon footprints through the increased use of renewable energy, self-consumption, and effective agricultural/forest waste management. Its objectives include enhancing biogas production from waste, combining renewable sources like biogas, biomass, agri-PV, and geothermal energy, while advancing sustainable agricultural practices. ECOLOOP promotes regional development, contributing to job creation, gender equality, and climate resilience. The project's impact will be showcased in pilot sites across Bulgaria, Spain, Estonia and Slovenia, considering diverse environmental and socio-economic factors.
