V západní Zambii úspěšně pokračuje projekt ČRA podporující ochranu životního prostředí stavěním bioplynáren
V rámci projektu s názvem Bioplynovou technologií k vyšší odolnosti komunit v Západní provincii Zambie realizovaného společností Člověk v tísni bylo postaveno již 45 bioplynáren. Ty umí z trusu zvířat a zbytků jídla vyrobit plyn, který mohou domácnosti jednoduše využívat k vaření nebo svícení. Plyn tak dokáže nahradit dřevo a dřevěné uhlí, na které je zde odkázána většina obyvatel. Biopalivovovou technologii zambijští venkované využívají nejen jako zdroj udržitelné energie pro domácnost, ale i jako vysoce efektivní organické hnojivo.

Exploring New Horizons in Biogas Technology and Waste Management in Norway
In the world of academia, collaboration is the key to unlocking new frontiers and advancing scientific knowledge. It is within this spirit of collaboration that Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hynek Roubík did a visit from Czech University of Life Sciences Prague to the esteemed Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO). With a primary focus on biogas technology and waste management, this visit aimed to foster knowledge exchange and create new ways of collaboration between these two institutions.
Building Bridges through Collaborative Research
One of the main objectives of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hynek Roubík's visit was to foster collaborative research projects between Czech University of Life Sciences Prague and NIBIO. The visit provided a valuable opportunity for experts from both institutions to come together, exchange ideas, and identify potential areas of research collaboration. Through insightful discussions and brainstorming sessions, they explored innovative approaches and research gaps in the field of biogas technology and waste management. By joining forces, these institutions aim to make significant contributions to the advancement of sustainable practices and solutions in these areas.
To enrich their understanding and facilitate fruitful collaborations, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hynek Roubík had the opportunity of visiting the state-of-the-art laboratories at NIBIO. Beyond the laboratories, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hynek Roubík had the opportunity to explore the facilities at NIBIO. These facilities play a crucial role in translating research findings into practical applications, allowing for real-world implementation of sustainable practices. From pilot-scale biogas plants to waste management systems, these facilities serve as testbeds for innovative technologies and solutions.
The visit of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hynek Roubík to NIBIO exemplifies the spirit of collaboration and knowledge exchange that drives scientific progress. Through collaborative research discussions, laboratory visits, and exploration of remarkable facilities, the foundations have been laid for a fruitful partnership between Czech University of Life Sciences Prague and NIBIO.
