In occasion of the above mentioned study tours, the delegate visited two biogas plants, one landfill equipped with a system of biogas capture for the exploitation of solid urban waste fermentation and another one with an equipment powered by waste of cattle farming. A particular focus has been dedicated to hydroelectric energy, with the visit of four plants between Val Pellice and Val di Susa and one visit to an important Italian turbine manufacturing company in Vicenza. More specifically, were presented to Miss Ekoumou plants of 1500 Kw and 2000 Kw which can cover the demand of energy of approximately 3000 families, and others 2 mini hydroelectric plants of 60 kw and 170 Kw.
