FLAGSHIP PILOT & MUNICIPAL CIRCULARITY
ZEFFIROS project aims to implement a unique BIOGAS ENERGY PRODUCTION PILOT UNIT in the cross-border area, located in Serres (18 KWel) and support the Municipality of Dojran to organise and set the processes to implement a biowaste collection & exploitation plan.
The pilot biogas unit and the biowaste collection & exploitation plans are designed and are to be operated through inter-municipal cooperation demonstrating effective solutions to existing problems in the cross-border area.
