Design, construction, start-up and operation of biodigesters adapted to the specific characteristics and conditions of the users. Implementation of the proprietary GBV methodology.

List item 1

Movement of Users of Biogas and other Renewable Energy Sources -Mubfre – CubaSolar

Cuba, Villa Clara, Santa Clara

1990

Transition Area
Fair Energetics

  • Alternative energy supply
  • Energy access for local communities, health self-management

When the design is made, an analysis is made that takes into account the environment surrounding the user. The flexibility of the technology has achieved a high level of introduction and acceptance. Requests for new design projects are constant.

Technical characteristics of the proposal
  1. Local materials are used, within the user’s reach. 
  2. The design is flexible according to the user’s possibilities. 
  3. Biodigesters from 4 m3 to 300 m3 capacity have been installed.
  4. The use of biogas is direct.

Productive, community, environmental, or economic processes or activities that were positively impacted by the implementation of the community experience of TEJ.

It is linked to meat and food production that is produced from irrigation with the biofertilizer.

Beneficiaries of the experience

More than 1,000 families involved

Achievements and problems encountered during implementation

ACHIEVEMENTS:

  1. Own design (GBV methodology).
  2. Environmental education through user training.
  3. Contribution to sustainability.

PROBLEMS:

  1. The materials used for biogas are part of other prioritized programs.
  2. Legislative requirements that are not in line with reality.
  3. Shortage of specialized personnel.

Women’s participation in the TEJ community experience

This is one of the most important aspects of the movement. Its achievement is to train women masons for the sustainability of the experience. When women are involved in the different stages of the process, better results are achieved.

Impact of the community experience of TEJ on public policy

Local and national. The biogas program in Cuba is currently being drawn up.
