There are fertile conditions for obtaining bioenergy from
hazelnut residues in Azerbaijan, Azernews reports per FAO
Azerbaijan.
“There are fertile conditions for #bioenergy from hazelnut
residues in #Azerbaijan. We presented preliminary results of
#sustainable bioenergy options in the hazelnut value chain within
the #HAZER project. The residues will top in the next 5 years,” FAO
Azerbaijan wrote on its official twitter page.
The preliminary results of the evaluation of sustainable
bioenergy options in the hazelnut value chain were presented within
the framework of the“Catalysing the efficiency and sustainability
of Azerbaijan's hazelnut sector- HAZER” project. The results of the
research conducted within the framework of the topic“Results on
the interaction and potential opportunities of bioenergy and
hazelnut value chain” were presented to the public.
It was stated that a large part of hazelnut shells and pruning
residues that can be mobilized for bioenergy production is
currently not productively used, and there are fertile conditions
for the development of this process.
The report predicts that in the next five years, the residues of
hazelnut products from the currently available areas in several
regions of Azerbaijan will increase.
“In 2026, it is predicted that the residues from hazelnut
pruning will increase from 35,784 tons to 45,866 tons per year, the
resulting hazelnut pulp from 41,875 tons to 70,704 tons, and the
hazelnut shell from 7,466 tons to 13,132 tons,” the statement
reads.
Moreover, within the framework of the above-mentioned project,
2-day training sessions on 'FAO bioenergy and food safety approach'
were held.
The project, financed by the government of Azerbaijan, is
implemented within the framework of the FAO-Azerbaijan Partnership
Program.
Azerbaijan has been a member of the FAO since 1995. The
organization's office in the country has been operating since
2007.
