Online Bio-Energy Course
Course details
The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Technical Assistance (REETA) Project, based in the CARICOM Energy Unit in Georgetown, Guyana, was established in 2013 and is being financed by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ).
At the macro level the project supports the improvement of the regional and political general framework for renewable energies and energy efficiency and strengthens the Energy Unit of the Secretariat of CARICOM with respect to its coordinating role. At the meso level, the program supports the further development of the technical institutes and promotes their regional networking on the education sector as well as sector-crossing with industry.
The program focusses on the expansion and provision of trainings and continuing education in the field of renewable energies and energy efficiency at Caribbean University as well as at technical institutions.
At the micro level, the program promotes model projects including bioenergy with high visibility and replicability. It is an overall project objective to contribute to secure the energy supply and to stabilize energy costs in the Caribbean region in a long-term perspective.

Bioenergy is one of the project’s main focuses and REETA already has financed a biogas laboratory in Belize. To assure its sustainable usage and enhance the knowledge about bioenergy further trainings are necessary.
