Northern Africa

Context

Tunisia is in one of the world’s most water-scarce and dry regions. The Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for Tunisia indicates that its economy, the population, and ecosystems are highly vulnerable to climate change. The country is expected to see shrinking of agricultural land areas due to increasing water scarcity. The reduction of agricultural GDP as a result of declining yields is estimated at about 5 to 10% by as early as 2030.

Context

Development of biosolids/digestate standards for use in the agricultural sector will not have a direct climate impact but the use of biosolids use can lead to broader adoption of the anaerobic digestion technology. Each country has a different set of standards depending on the discharge standards of treated effluents on land, water body, sea or rivers etc. and the quality of the digestate is largely dependent on the effluent discharge standards.

Le contexte

L’Algérie a adopté en 2011 un vaste programme des énergies renouvelables et de l’efficacité énergétique (PEREE). Ce dernier, mis à jour en 2015, vise la production de 22.000 MW d’électricité d’origine renouvelable à l’horizon 2030, dont plus de 60% (13.575MW) serait d’origine solaire photovoltaïque (figure 1).
