Descrição detalhada da prática ou projeto

In 2006 they carried out a reform in the town hall, using a biomass boiler to heat the building. The good results obtained led to the replacement of all municipal boilers.

The municipality of Coca buys the wood chips from SOMACYL and is transported from the Valladolid plant, 70 km to Coca. The price of the wood chips, at that time, was paid at € 54 / tn, placed at the silo door and with an average humidity of 30%.

Currently, it uses its own resources and has its own machinery to produce splinters.
