Japan and UNDP support 10 solid biofuels businesses in Moldova

In Moldova, 10 businesses producing solid biofuels will make their businesses more energy efficient and modernize their pellet and briquette production lines under the UNDP project “Multidimensional response to emerging human security challenges”, funded by the Government of Japan. 

Existing producers of solid biofuels are supported to promote resource-efficient production, including the use of energy-efficient technologies. The 10 selected companies will receive non-monetary support in the form of equipment and services to mitigate the increase in production costs caused by high energy prices, high equipment maintenance and logistics costs, and limited competitiveness on the local market. 

The support program will help to reduce production costs, allowing the selected companies to invest the savings in business expansion and will also increase energy security for the population by facilitating access to affordable energy.
