The Cities of Dakhla and Dreux Strengthen Cooperation in Agricultural and Environmental Sectors

The meeting was chaired by the President of the Dakhla Municipal Council, Erragheb Hormatallah, in the presence of the Mayor of Dreux, Pierre-Frédéric Billet, who is leading a French delegation that includes business leaders, investors and representatives of the French GEDIA Group, a major player in the environment and renewable energy sectors.

Speaking to the press, Mr. Hormatallah said that the meeting enabled the GEDIA Group to present a project covering agriculture, aquaculture, renewable energy and waste management. He added that an agreement was also signed concerning a key project within the framework of the existing partnership between the municipality of Dakhla and the French city of Dreux, noting that this partnership is taking shape through concrete initiatives and projects.

For his part, the Mayor of Dreux said that the agreement marks the launch of a pioneering initiative focused on the recovery of marine waste, as well as other types of waste, which will ultimately make it possible to produce biogas through sustainable waste valorization. He explained that this initiative also aims to protect the environment, given that Dakhla stands out for its unique ecosystem and rich natural resources.

Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer of the GEDIA Group, Patrick Polge, said that the project consists of an experimental micro-methanization process, based on the production of gas and agricultural fertilizers from organic waste. He stressed that the project forms part of the broader development momentum of the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab region, whether in tourism, agriculture or maritime fishing.

The meeting was held in the presence of the Secretary General of the Wilaya of Dakhla-Oued Eddahab, Abderrazak El Gourji, members of the Dakhla Municipal Council and heads of external services.
