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

a) Significant energy savings Generate savings in energy consumption and reduction of CO2 emissions by:

Lowering the cooperative’s environmental footprint by 10% Lowering the cooperative’s electricity bill by 20% Lowering participating farmers’ electricity bills by 50% Organic waste to produce thermal power for boilers Rural Smart Grid promoting energy efficiency Bio-energy crops for conversion to biofuel

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.

Project objectives

b) Use of renewable sources Substitution of required energy through local and renewable sources by:
