Biodôme DU MAROC is an innovative Moroccan company specialised in the application of biotechnology in agriculture. It was one of the successful experiences from around the Mediterranean region that has been invited to participate in the 3rd Euro-Mediterranean Brokerage and Venturing Event, held in Bari, Italy on the 26-27 June 2016.

An article recently published on L'Economiste praises its innovative solution:

Technology for the production of biogas. This is the innovative solution that Biodôme DU MAROC offers, the first Moroccan company specializing in anaerobic digestion of organic waste.

The target? Moroccan farmers have to bear high costs of electricity, fuel, and energy for irrigation of their lands. For example, in order to irrigate a hectare of maize, it takes 100 butane gas canisters. this, in turn produces tons of wastes, which do not undergo any treatment and are the main source of emissions of greenhouse gases.
