Thirteen teams submitted these documents, which were evaluated by specialists from the partner institutions.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><h3><b><br>\nThe teams that earned the highest scores and were selected as finalists are:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\nNational University of Colombia - Colombia. Energy recovery of agricultural residues from a palm extraction plant.<\/li>\n<li>\nTEREO SAC - Peru. Valorization of bovine residues for biogas and biofertilizer production at El Carmen Plant.<\/li>\n<li>\nAsociaci\u00f3n Ambientalista del Sur - Argentina. Bioenergy Transmutation - Development of a Triple Impact Circular Economy Project through the management of organic fractions of municipal solid waste (FORSU), for the generation of biogas and composting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><br><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b><br>\nIn addition, Special Mention was given to the following teams:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Technological Institute of Production - Peru.

Energy recovery of the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (FORSU) by anaerobic digestion for the production of biogas.<\/li>\n<li>Kratospro\/Ayala Consulting Consortium - Ecuador. Bioenergy generation from biogas from the Cayambe sanitary landfill. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These teams will receive support from PFAN to further strengthen their proposal and guide their search for financing.  They will also receive training from INCAE Business School on best practices for effective presentations.   In addition, they and other participants who so requested received from South Pole an estimate of the potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the feasibility of potentially obtaining carbon credits.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of October, each of the finalist projects will have the opportunity to present their proposals before a panel of specialists from financial and technical institutions, who will provide feedback and guidance on how to move forward in the search for funding.&nbsp;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6c20e79 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6c20e79\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3684165\" data-id=\"3684165\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-782e172 elementor-button-info elementor-tablet-align-center elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"782e172\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ledslac.org\/en\/comunidades-de-practica\/bioenergia\/desafio-bioenergia-latinoamerica\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Learn more about the challenge<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Bioenergy Community of Practice (BioE CoP) of the LEDS LAC Regional Platform announces the results of the evaluation of bioenergy project proposals under the Bioenergy Challenge Latin America and the Caribbean 2023 (hereinafter BioE LAC 2023 Challenge).<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28935,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[53],"class_list":["post-28906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-bioenergia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ledslac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ledslac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ledslac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ledslac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ledslac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ledslac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28906\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ledslac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ledslac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ledslac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ledslac.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
