BioGasCucle is a program for recycling organic waste in urban areas. The organic matter is transformed into biogas using biodigesters. Biogas is a source of renewable energy for cooking, lighting or generating electricity on a small scale.

01.01 Descreva a sua empresa com mais pormenores:

The biogas produced can be used as a renewable energy source for various purposes, such as cooking food, lighting and small-scale electricity generation. This not only reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, helping with sustainable urban waste management, but also closes the nutrient cycle efficiently. After the anaerobic digestion process in biodigesters, the resulting organic compost can be used as high-quality organic fertilizer to fertilize agricultural soils. This compost not only improves soil fertility, but also reduces dependence on chemical fertilizers, promoting more sustainable agricultural practices and completing the nutrient cycle in an integrated way. In addition to the environmental benefits, such as reducing methane emissions from landfills and closing the nutrient cycle, initiatives like this also have positive social impacts by promoting awareness of waste management and the use of renewable energies within urban communities.

01.02 Qual é o principal problema que está a tentar resolver?
