LIFE13/ENV/ES/1513 ATRES80 Santiago de Compostela Oct. 21, 2015

Project Areas & Problems targeted Cooperativa Agrícola iCaixa Agrària de Cambrils • High electricity and fuel costs • Affects competitiveness • Stronghold for rural development despite increasing land abandonment • Soil degradation, semiarid environment • Inefficient organic waste management • Olive pits, press olives, pruning and mowing waste

Environmental problems targeted

Project objectives To demonstrate the economic and environmental viability of a new business model for agricultural cooperatives, integrating energy savings and the generation of renewable energies and biomass production. a) Significant energy savings Generate savings in energy consumption and reduction of CO 2 emissions by: Lowering participating Lowering the cooperative’s Lowering the cooperative’s farmers ’ electricity bills by environmental footprint by electricity bill by 20% 50% 10% b) Use of renewable sources Substitution of required energy through local and renewable sources by: Bio-energy crops for conversion to biofuel Organic waste to produce thermal power for boilers Rural Smart Grid promoting energy efficiency
