Renewable Energies
Project
We promote the use of renewable energies and the proper management of organic waste, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated from the burning of fossil fuels and the decomposition of organic waste; and avoid cutting native vegetation for use as firewood.
Addressing the complexity of the environment requires multiple perspectives.
To meet our objectives, we have an interdisciplinary technical team that is responsible for carrying them forward in a comprehensive manner. The staff is divided into various work areas:
