FILIA GHI - Greece

FILIA GHI is dedicated to producing high-quality wines while respecting the land and adhering to sustainable practices. Situated in Thessaly, Greece, in a rural area rich in potential biomass, the company aims to explore renewable energy production through the use of agricultural residues. The site offers opportunities to utilize residual prunings sustainably from vineyards, olive trees, and almond trees.   

In addition to its commitment to eco-friendly wine production, FILIA GHI collaborates with local cooperatives, creating opportunities to repurpose biomass from regional crops such as cotton and maize.

Current progress

Watch our video for an inside look how our partners at INL developed smart sensors for biomass growth monitoring.

Follow their journey, from gathering essential environmental data to designing and deploying advanced sensor systems in the field.

Discover how the team integrates computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse crop growth, segment vegetation, and calculate biomass levels in real-time.

In February 2025, our partners from INL with the support of the CERTH successfully deployed the first two poles at the Greek pilot site. Each pole is equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and instruments, including two spectrometers, a camera, a soil moisture sensor, a weather station, a solar panel and battery system, cloud-based connectivity via GSM. The data collected from these sensors is continuously transmitted to a dedicated digital platform, where AI algorithms and advanced image processing techniques analyze the information.   

ECO FARM - Italy

ECO FARM’s aim is to support to local producers, with particular attention to environmental sustainability and respect for nature. Located in Sicily, in an agricultural area with a high potential of biomass of different nature deriving from the cultivation of peaches, apricots, melons, table and must grapes, wheat and oil olives to be exploited for the production of renewable energy.

Additionally, thanks to its location and the already developed network of farmers which provide agricultural products to be transformed into food, the company can find other forms of biomass such as poultry manure.

Sustainability efforts 

The focus on eco-sustainability and the reduction of CO2 emissions led the company to invest in photovoltaic system of 200 kW and weather stations.

Project goal

Through the TEAPOTS project, Eco Farm will evaluate and study the best strategy for energy independence and renewable energy production. In addition, thanks to pyrolysis and ORC the goal is to obtain a product such as biochar, to be used as an organic fertilizer reducing the use of chemical fertilizers.
