Moldova Energy and Biomass Project (phase 1)

This project lays the basis for the establishment of functional markets for biomass technologies while increasing the use of renewable energy sources, in particular for heating public buildings and households in rural areas. New jobs and income are created and secured through the establishment of value added chains at the local and regional level through the supply of biomass fuel and technologies. In addition, the project significantly contributes to reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution by replacing the traditional energy sources with readily available biomass fuels, training programmes and a country-wide awareness raising campaign combined with a school education programme aim to change people’s knowledge and attitude towards renewable energy sources, laying the basis for increased uptake of sustainable energy technologies in the future.
