Summary
The purpose of the project activity is to produce biodiesel derived from sunflower and rape crops for substituting petroleum diesel. The reduction of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will be achieved by partially or fully substituting petroleum diesel in transportation. The proposed project aims to reduce GHG in context of JI procedures under the Kyoto Protocol with the amount of 677,216 tonnes of CO2 equ for the first commitement period. The project has a capacity of 60,000 tons of biodiesel per year. The biodiesel plant will be located in the Rousse Region in the municipality of SLIVO POLE, Bulgaria.
Results
The proposed JI Project aims to achieve maximum production of Biodiesel - 60,000 tones per year. Technicaleconomical analyze by "ASTRA BIOPLANT" shows sell price at least 650 EUR/tone and payback period at 4.5 years. Since May 2006 the project owner is organizing every month a meeting with farmers, insurance company representatives and bank representatives. The purpose of the public notice and meeting was to inform all stakeholders, invite comments on the project and participate in the stakeholder meetings.
Environmental WELL-BEING The main impact of the proposed project on the environment is the reduction of GHG-emissions. In the region, where the proposed plant will be built and where the required feedstock will be cultivated, there are several irrigation systems, which are currently unused. The proposed project will revive the existing irrigation systems. Those systems will stimulate not only the growing of oilseed plants but also the growing of traditional vegetables, which had been cultivated in the past. All those circumstances will improve positive environmental impact in the Rousse region.
Social and economical WELL-BEING The social impact of the project contains the creation of new jobs and the improvement of the present income situation of local farmers. 120 persons will be employed in the biodiesel production plant. In addition, 30 farmers will be working on the cultivation of oilseed plants.
