BIOGAZ LAGKADA SA
Production and environmental benefits
After successful cooperation with Piraeus Bank and through the community initiative JESSICA, the financing of the project was secured and its implementation began in March 2016. The project was completed in October of the same year, in a record 6 months, and immediately went into production. Today, Biogas Lagada SA operates in full production and contributes decisively to the treatment of waste coming not only from the units of the 4 shareholders, but also from 10 other poultry-livestock enterprises in the area, as well as from 5 agro-industries.
In addition to the electricity available to the national grid, the plant produces organic soil conditioner which is distributed to plots of land in the area, ensuring high quality fertilisation, environmentally friendly and at low cost.
The functioning of the unit produces the following benefits:
- It enriches organic matter-poor fields with organic matter.
- Neutralizes soil acidity due to its alkaline pH.
- Saves and eliminates the use of chemical fertilizers.
CERTH/ INAB
The Institute of Applied Biosciences at the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (INAB|CERTH) conducts research in the Life Sciences that extends from microbes to plants, animals and humans.
Our aim at INAB is to promote basic research, while providing solutions to important social needs related to health and well-being.
In this context, INAB conducts Biomedical research and deals with the development and evaluation of digital health interventions and personalized medicine, while also holding a leading position in Agri-biotechnology, utilizing modern high-performance methodologies, molecular biotechnology and 'breeding by design' approaches, with the aim of developing high quality and value products.
We work towards this direction with the basic principle of cooperation between scientists with different but complementary knowledge and skills. The main pillars of our activity are bioanalysis, data from the real world and the development of relevant applications.
INAB’s researchers play an important role in identifying, disseminating and supporting good research and educational practices, thus facilitating interaction between scientists, authorities and society. This, strengthens our cooperation with critical 'players' both nationally and internationally, giving them the opportunity to upgrade their services in critical areas such as health, agri-food, education and technological development.
At INAB, we believe that sustainability presupposes renewal based on both innovation and developments in technology and social needs. Thus, we will continue to be at the forefront of research on carefully selected areas of scientific, social and economic interest.
We rely on knowledge and cooperation, we innovate in the Life Sciences, we respond to social needs!
