The problem of massive emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fossil fuels and related climatic impact have become major environmental, scientific and institutional issues worldwide. Long-term sustainability of the atmosphere requires a drastic decrease in CO2 emissions and an efficient energy strategy. Against growing energy consumption in the Mediterranean area, GR.ENE.CO project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to improve energy efficiency by adopting renewable energy as main power source at farm level. This will be reached through the implementation of several forms of renewable energy - biofuel, biomass, solar, wind and hydro power - in farms settled in the involved target areas: Sarcidano and Barbagia of Seulo (Italy), South Lebanon, Al Iskandanyah and Al Buhayrah territories (Egypt). _x000D_
