Astana. A memorandum of understanding between Bionet srl and Kazakh Invest was signed in Astana during the week dedicated to Friuli Venezia Giulia at the Italian Pavilion at the 2017 Future Energy Expo in Kazakistan with the aim of realizing one or more anaerobic digestion systems for waste treatment from which organic fertilizer for use in agriculture (compost), biogas, liquid methane, electricity, and heat as well as vegetable charcoal, will be produced. The plant will be designed, with the support of the University of Udine, according to a scheme similar to the one currently under construction in the Friulian capital for the Net. The aim of the project is to achieve significant energy efficiency for the whole chain of collecting and treatment of waste, increasing recovered energy with lower operating costs and reducing gas emissions and fossil fuel consumption.
