Latvia’s Getliņi EKO will study potential renewable energy production solutions at waste management companies in Riga and Tartu as part of the international project Circular Economy in Waste management in Riga and Tartu (CERITA), the company said.
The project involves developing a business model, analysing the economic value of the products, and defining an investment plan for the solution. One of the main innovations of the CERITA project is the use of hydrogen and its derivatives to improve the final product obtained from waste treatment.
The project is coordinated by the Latvian Hydrogen Association, and partners from the Baltic States and the Netherlands have joined the project with the aim of transforming waste management practices using a closed-loop economy approach. The project is implemented by partners Hydrogen Architects BV, Getliņi EKO SIA, Ekotikslai UAB, ERNST & YOUNG BALTIC SIA and the City of Tartu.
The project Circular Economy in Riga and Tartu Waste Management Facilities (CERITA) is 100 per cent funded by the European Innovation Council and the Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EISMEA). The project will be implemented during the 12 months of 2024. The total budget of the project is 1.5 million euros.
