By Tamilla Mammadova – Trend:
The Georgian village Gulgula in the municipality of Telavi tested energy-efficient equipment for collecting and processing waste wood from vineyards, Trend reports referring to the EU website.
The project is co-financed by the Telavi Municipality and implemented by the Energy Efficiency Center Georgia.
As reported, the equipment will ensure the efficient and uninterrupted supply of biomass for heating the municipal kindergartens.
The municipality received the equipment in January 2020 as part of the EU project "Biomass energy and energy-efficient technologies as sustainable energy solutions for Georgian signatories of the Covenant of Mayors".
The project is funded by the EU program "Covenant of Mayors – Demonstration Projects" under the EU4Energy initiative, and is implemented by the Energy Efficiency Center in Georgia.
The EU’s total contribution to the project is nearly 600,000 euro with co-financing from Telavi Municipality of almost 150,000 euro.
The main activities of the project include creation of a renewable energy (biomass) supply chain to provide heating of two selected buildings with agricultural waste (vine tree pruning) and public awareness activities with broad public involvement for the popularization of renewable energy and energy efficient technologies.
