Vinéa Energie
Examples: territorial dynamics, societal demand, diversification of the activity, local sales/processing, working conditions, sharing of good practices.
Examples: reduction of energy consumption of mobile and stationary installations, reduction of journeys, on-site energy production.
Vinea Énergie sees the vine beyond its status as an agricultural crop: it is a renewable resource, a source of ecological energy and a pillar of the circular economy.

At the heart of this project lies the transformation of uprooted vine stumps – traditionally regarded as waste and burnt at the edge of fields – into a renewable resource. Burning remains the simplest and most cost-effective method, but a more environmentally sound alternative is possible thanks to funding for the avoidance of the resulting greenhouse gas emissions.
This vineyard is actively participating in this initiative by recycling 5.2 tonnes of vines as part of this project, thereby preventing the estimated emission of 5.72 TeqCO₂*.
Collection and sorting: Uprooted vine stumps are collected from winegrowers in the region, particularly in Saint-Emilion. A selective sorting process separates the different types of waste (stumps, stakes, wooden markers) for further processing.
Conversion into biomass: The collected vines are transported to specialised facilities where they undergo a process of conversion into wood fuel in the form of wood chips. The wood fuel can be used as a fuel to power biomass boilers, producing renewable heat and electricity.
To convert 5.2 tonnes of vines into a high value-added product.
To optimise the management of vineyard residues by avoiding their simple disposal.
This project thus enables the vineyard to operate within a circular economy framework, where uprooted vines become a useful resource supporting the energy and agricultural transition.
Environmental: Avoiding open-air burning, limiting CO₂ emissions and air pollutants.
Economic and social: Developing a sector for the recovery of agricultural residues, creating jobs and stimulating the regional economy.
* The final value of the estimate will only be established following verification by an independent auditor and an administrative verification decision.
