16. Examples of Bio-digesters in Costa Rica

17. Opportunity Location strategic in the Region Ports in the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea Stable policy Supply of biomass characterized and located Goal of carbon neutrality

18. Recommendation Establish at least one pilot project with some local government. Talks with the Ministries of Agriculture and Education. Participate in fairs and conferences with the theme of bio-digesters. Start the display and sale of products. Doing research and extension Continue with the training…
