UNDP Project: Turning wine waste into profit

This project aims to asses the possibilities of local winemakers in terms of valorisation of their processing waste. Based on the preliminary data collection and interviews with stakeholders the briquetting technology has been assessed as the most appropriate technology for small-scale and medium-scale producers.

The project starts with the study of waste management flows among the winery makers in Moldavia. Based on the study, the technology of briquetting press and wood shredder will be implemented together with a small-scale biogas plant. Further on the implemented technology will be tested based on specific inputs in the target location. As a follow up, there will be organized study visits from local schools and local wine makers to observe the technology. At the end of the project, recommendations for further up-scaling and replication within the country will be developed.

Project duration: 2020-2021
The project is implemented by: Czech University, Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences in partnership with AEER and Galicus SRL.
