The project tackles energy production and storage at the farm level and increases energy security in the South Baltic region. However, many farms are too small to make optimal use of their resources and energy technologies such as anaerobic digestion. The project will develop and evaluate pilot associations and create a toolbox that supports the decision-making process for energy optimization, production, consumption, and storage. This toolbox will help farmers evaluate the potential for energy efficiency improvements and estimate the benefits that can be achieved.
The partnership will increase farmers’ capacity for research, development, and deployment of green energy systems, leading to cost reductions, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and a more sustainable future.
By working together, small farmers associations can overcome the challenges and maximize the opportunities for energy production, consumption, and storage. The development of innovative solutions and business models, combined with cross-border partnerships of farmers and stakeholders will help to create a greener, more secure, and more prosperous future for all.\
