MOROCCO A NEW WAY OF ENERGY PRODUCTION Morocco seeks to expand its renewable energy capacity with a goal of 42% of renewable electricity output by 2020. The renewable energy objective can be reached also through the introduction of: Anaerobic digestion plants (Waste & Biomass) Landfill gas plants Photovoltaic plants Wind farms Source: Office National de l Electricitè et de l Eau Potable-ONEE 13
BIOGAS INTRODUCING A NEW WAY OF PRODUCTION 14
MOROCCO: AGRICULTURAL & AGRO-INDUSTRIAL RESIDUES ANAEROBIC DIGESTION PLANTS Agricultural and agro-industrial residues can be used as sources of energy by means of the anaerobic digestion process. Agriculture is a key sector for Morocco s economy. The main agricultural products include: Olives, tomatoes, citrus fruit The main agro industry products are: olive oils, cheese, preserved or canned fruits and vegetables Source: The Statistics Division of the FAO - FAOSTAT 2012 15
MOROCCO: BIOGAS FROM OLIVE MILL RESIDUES ANAEROBIC DIGESTION PLANTS Morocco is the 5 th Country in the world for olive production Olive crop area: 968.123 ha Olive production: 1.315.794 tons/year Virgin olive oil: 120.100 tons/year Traditional oil mills facilities: 15.257 Continuous process facilities (2 or 3 phase): 288 Olive oil residues: 80% of olive processed * Asja developed a research project in Apulia Region (Italy) for the energy valorisation of olive mill residues via anaerobic digestion. *Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the Unites Nations-FAOSTAT 2012; International Olice Council-IOC 2012 16
MOROCCO: BIOGAS FROM URBAN WASTES LANDFILL GAS PLANTS Landfill biogas plant With the urban population growing at 2,85% per year and per capita consumption increasing, municipal solid waste management has become one of the most serious environmental challenges in urban areas. The Morocco government has planned to manage this emergency through the PNDM *, a national municipal solid waste management program (2007-2021). Asja, thanks to its 20 years of experience in design, construction and management of landfill gas plants, can contribute significantly to the safety of the landfill, reducing harmful and greenhouse gas emissions and producing electric and thermal energy. * Programme National de Gestion des déchets ménagers et assimilés 17
Asja target in Morocco projects is the cooperation with local partners in designing, building and managing advanced systems to generate energy from renewable sources (biogas, biomass, wind, photovoltaic). 18
