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 purpose of the training is twofold. On the one hand, the aim is to increase the knowledge of those attending the course through talks from experts in the sector, who will convey their know-how and experiences. On the other hand, the idea is to promote relations between those who have signed up for the course and to even identify upcoming market niches.
3/11/2020 Theory session
The course will include a theory session and a practical one. The theory session will be held online on 3rd November, due to the Covid-19 situation. A private room video conference will be conducted on a platform adapted for this purpose, which will be accessible to all those who have registered for the course. The speakers will be José Luis Prieto Recio, manager of Extremadura Verde S.L.; Iván Muñoz Martín, forestry engineer and specialist in renewables and the installation of heat networks; Alberto León Granado, a forestry engineer from the technical office of Extremadura Verde S.L.; and Eloy Longobardo Ojalvo an agricultural engineer, responsible for the biomass logistics plant and the purchase-sale of wood at Extremadura Verde S.L.
The session will look at the different biomass extraction processes, introducing the organising and acting entities, the legislation affecting the sector, types of biomass, relations between the different attendees, etc. Furthermore, explanatory videos will be screened with images to illustrate the explanations.
