📋 Tender Overview
With the support of ProInnovate, Agronor Peru implements photovoltaic technology that improves energy efficiency by 35% and optimizes organic banana production.With the support of the ProInnovate Program of the Ministry of Production, the Piura company Agroexportaciones Nor Peru S.A.C. (Agronor Peru) implemented a water supply system powered by solar energy.
This technological initiative, applied to the production of organic bananas, Cavendish Valery variety, seeks to optimize operational efficiency, reduce costs and mitigate the environmental impact of its production processes.
Denis Infante, company representative, explained that this project plans to replace 22% of the energy consumed by the irrigation system, achieve a 35% improvement in energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions by 10% at the end of the first year.
How does it work?
The sustainable irrigation system integrates a photovoltaic plant equipped with solar modules, smart meters, a communications system and automated controls. The results obtained after a period of 12 months of operation will be decisive in evaluating the expansion of this solar system in the companys operations.
The technical validation and optimization of this technology was carried out with non-refundable resources from the Business Innovation - Climate Change contest, managed by ProInnovate. Through this line of financing, the Ministry of Production program seeks to reduce the carbon footprint in the country through the development of new and improved products or processes that allow us to face the effects of the climate crisis.
With this implementation, the company not only evolves towards a more sustainable management model, but also increases its competitiveness in global markets that demand high standards of environmental responsibility.
The results obtained in a period of 12 months will be used to decide the possibility of expanding the solar photovoltaic system for its operations
PRODUCE support
Through the Business Innovation - Climate Change Contest, ProInnovate plans to contribute to the reduction of the carbon footprint in the country, with the development of projects aimed at obtaining a new or substantially improved product (good or service) or process (or combination of both), that contributes to reducing or adapting to the effects of the climate crisis.
