Projects & Practice

Punkalaidun municipality conducted a feasibility study for setting up a biogas plant producing energy from manure, which resulted in an investment decision.

A dairy farm in Wallonia invested in renewable energy production from manure and produced milk using a more environmental friendly process.

LEADER support was used to exploit the potential of using large quantities of waste wood from landscape management as a renewable energy source.

In a rural area without public sewage system, a LEADER project helped the local population to get familiar with the new environmental standards, legislation and requirements on wastewater treatment. It also enabled them to make informed decisions on which wastewater treatment technology to use.  

In an area where cattle breeding is predominent, LEADER funding helped explore the potentials of producing biogas from manure produced in the farms.
