Companies from the Scientific Park and CIALE collaborate in this experimental Project which will be carried out in the region of Ciudad Rodrigo.
The Spanish-Portuguese Agricultural Research Center (CIALE) and the companies Iter Investigación and Quantum Servicios Energéticos, from the Scientific Park, have developed the “Symbiosis“ project, aimed at the improvement of competitiveness in the agricultural and livestock sectors in Spain and Portugal and the social and economic development of the entire territory.
It is an experimental project that will be carried out in the region of Ciudad Rodrgio which aims at converting the feces of animals into energy, principally those of pigs and cows. This will be possible thanks to a biogas plant, the intention is for it to be feasible from the economic and technical point of view.
