Promobiomasse on video
Promobiomasse on video
This month will see the end of the Promobiomasse project, launched in 2018 within the framework of the Interreg Sudoe programme with the aim of boosting the local energy market for forest biomass in southern Europe through cross-border cooperation. The final video of the project shows the main actions developed in each territory and the results of the project.
The European project Promobiomasse is holding its closing seminar
Today, institutional decision-makers from the participating regions, experts in biomass, and partner and associate entities have come together in Navarra to take part in the final project seminar. This transnational initiative, which is now at its final stage, is focussed on driving environmentally and economically sustainable forest management, directed at maintaining and improving forest assets while generating income for the local population and preventing the risk of fire. During the seminar, experts Pablo Rodero and Elena Baeza underscored the potential of biomass as a driver of a change in the energy model.
The final Promobiomasse seminar is set to be held in Aoiz (Navarra) on 16th September
On this coming Thursday, 16th September, the final seminar of the Promobiomasse project will take place at the Centre for the storage, processing and supply of biomass, located in Aoiz (Navarra). The event will be attended by experts in biomass, representatives of the project’s partner and associate entities and institutional decision-makers from the participating regions. During the seminar, biomass experts will discuss the subject of biomass as a factor in energy transition and sustainability.
ENERAREA is studying the viability of creating a Network of Logistics Parks for the Processing of Forest Biomass Residues
More than a third of Portugal is covered by forest on private land, while the property structure is extremely fragmented with the predominance of smallholdings, representing an obstacle for good forestry management in the country. The need to study solutions has led ENERAREA, the Agência Regional de Energia e Ambiente do Interior de Portugal (Regional Energy and Environment Agency within Portugal) to take part in the European projects GEFRECON and PROMOBIOMASSE. Within the PROMOBIOMASSE framework, ENERAREA has set in motion a Study through the Centro de Biomasa para la Energía (Biomass Centre for Energy) directed at analysing the viability of creating a Network of Logistics Parks for the Processing of Forest Biomass Residues.
Creado un geoportal de consulta de la biomasa forestal para las comarcas de Sierra de Gata, Hurdes y Siberia-Cíjara en el proyecto europeo Promobiomasse
Localizar las existencias de biomasa forestal en varias comarcas extremeñas es ahora más sencillo gracias al geoportal creado por el ingeniero forestal Iván Muñoz Martín en colaboración con la Agencia Extremeña de la Energía (AGENEX) en el marco del proyecto de cooperación europea Promobiomasse.
La aplicación muestra de forma visual la biomasa existente en las comarcas extremeñas de Sierra de Gata, Hurdes y Siberia-Cíjara.
Promobiomasse receives input with regard to its biomass market management model
During the months of April, May and June, a number of regional workshops were held within the framework of the Promobiomasse project, in which local experts gave their input to the model for the management of the biomass market in a short circuit, prepared in the project. The meetings also served to assess the pilot schemes set in motion by the Promobiomasse partners. Now that the regional workshops have ended, Promobiomasse will organise a technical workshop using streaming technology, to be held on 1st July. This is directed at actors in the different stages of the biomass cycle in the project’s territories. The workshop will serve to explain the project implemented and to give short talks to address those aspects dealt with in the pilot schemes.
Promobiomasse courses on innovative forest extraction systems in the Agricultural Training Schools of Catalonia
During the months of February and March, the CTFC is conducting 4 training sessions at the Agricultural Training Schools of Catalonia within the framework of the Promobiomasse project. The workshops are entitled “Introduction to innovative forest extraction systems in Catalonia. Typologies and good practices: overhead cable and synchronised winch”.
The first session took place on 10th February, at the Olius ECA. The aim of the sessions is to disseminate and transfer data and good practices on the use of new forest wood extraction methods as an innovative alternative and with a lower environmental impact, while improving working conditions in order to reduce the accident rate in the forestry sector.
Promobiomasse is moving forward with courses, studies and other pilot schemes
This week, the Promobiomasse partners – the Centro de Ciencia y Tecnología Forestal de Cataluña (CTFC), the public society of the Navarra Government – Navarra de Suelo y Vivienda, SA (NASUVINSA, the Agencia Extremeña de la Energía (AGENEX), the Agência Regional de Energia e Ambiente do Interior (ENERAREA), of Región Norte Portugal, the Communauté de Communes du Plateau de Lannemezan (CCPL), of the French department Hautes-Pyrénées, and the Association des Communes Forestières des Pyrénées Atlantiques (COFOR64) of the Pyrénées Atlantiques – held a virtual meeting to discuss the progress made within the project framework and to plan new actions, adapted to the current pandemic situation.
Biomass training for local actors in Extremadura
A training session organised by the Agencia Extremeña de la Energía (Agenex) is to be held in November within the framework of the Promobiomasse project. The title of the course is “Integrated Management of the biomass value chain by key actors” and it is set to be given by the company Extremadura Verde S.L. The course sessions will focus on different biomass-related aspects, primarily on virgin wood biomass.
The CTFC is to provide the ACM with an agroforestry biofuel quality analysis service
The Centre de Ciència i Tecnologia Forestal de Catalunya (CTFC), Promobiomasse project partner, is the successful tenderer of the tender launched by the Association of Municipalities of Catalonia (Asociación Catalana de Municipios-ACM) to contract the service to analyse the quality of agroforestry biofuels.
PROMOBIOMASSE
Networking for the development of an integrated model for sustainable forest biomass management in a short-circuit, applicable to mountain areas of the SUDOE territory.
Project funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
