Recipient: Futuro Sostenible
The renewable energy potential in Talara is very high and will help minimize the use of fossil fuels. With support from the BCI Community Award for Ocean-Related Climate Solutions, this project will introduce electromobility and circularity in valuing fish byproducts of artisanal communities in Los Organos bay, Talara - Peru. The project has a systemic and gender sensitive collaborative approach with the San Pedro de Los Organos Artisan Fishermen's Guild especially women, representing 350 members and 120 vessels engaged in the fishing and harvesting of coastal species with artisanal methods. The project will also engage with the National Institute for Technology and Production (ITP) - CITEpesquero CALLAO, as well as renewable energy suppliers in the field of marine electromobility. This pilot project promotes a zero-waste approach in primary processing, introduces electromobility in the transportation of personnel in the bay, and strengthens local governance. The project will define a technological package for the economic reuse of waste and will demonstrate the viability of switching to clean energy. Futuro Sostenible aims to contribute to a resilient development strategy for the province of Talara and share experiences with other innovative projects.
