Making investments in new platforms for manure management, a milestone in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), could also solve the problem of the infringement imposed on Romania by the European Commission for nitrite and nitrate pollution.
“If they were done, they should also solve infringement problems caused by nitrite and nitrate pollution,” said Cătălin Stanca, from REI International Consulting, during the event “Energy efficiency for energy transition” organized in Constanța by Energynomics together with the Romanian Fund for Efficiency Energy – FREE and the Directorate for Energy Efficiency within the Ministry of Energy.
The budget of this program, as provided in the NRRP, is 1.11 billion lei (228.3 million euros). The program involves the establishment of integrated manure collection and utilization systems, as well as the modernization of already existing integrated communal systems.
The program budget will be divided according to the type of investment made. Thus, a budget of 843.2 million lei (171.9 million euros) will be allocated for the construction of new platforms for manure management. For the modernization of the existing platforms, the amounts available amount to 276.6 million lei (56.4 million euros).
The maximum eligible amount is 4.9 million lei/newly established communal platform and no more than 2.4 million lei/modernized communal platform.
