Community Biogas Moldova

Community Biogas Moldova – ComBioM

Community Biogas Moldova (ComBioM) is a project that will prepare for the introduction and adaptation of small-scale community biogas for rural Moldova. During the second half of 2019 technical capacity building (job-shadowing) and a technical, economic and legal feasibility study of a pilot digester will be conducted by GENESCOTEC of Moldova. This will be combined with a public communication component managed by the Global Ecovillage Network of Europe’s biogas team. This second component will include a participatory stakeholder analysis on how receptive community development change-makers, both professional and voluntary social mobilizers, are to the concept of community biogas. The results will be publicized in part through a national conference on community biogas held towards the end of the project. The results of the project will be to feed into the project application for an implementation phase in which a pilot biogas plant would be built at EcoVisio’s training center in Ecovillage Moldova in Riscova village in 2020.This current phase is funded by Swedish Sida’s program Demo Environment executed by the Swedish Agency for Regional and Economic Growth and implemented by NGO RELEARN Suderbyn of Gotland.
