The meeting counted with the visit of the Project Monitor.
A visit was made to the pilot plant at the E.D.A.R Quart de Benáger.
On 18 February 2025, the LIFE ECOdigestion 2.0 project consortium held a meeting in Valencia, bringing together the main project partners: Global Omnium, Aguas do Centro Litoral and Finnova. The meeting provided an opportunity to review the current status of the project and discuss next steps. The programme monitor was also present, actively participating in the explanations of the project and offering her recommendations.
The day started with a welcome and introduction of the participants, followed by a visit to the Quart-Benàger wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and pilot plant. This visit to the plant was of great interest after the events suffered by the DANA in Valencia which directly affected the pilot plant of the project.
After a short coffee break, the consortium immersed itself in presentations on various aspects of the project.
