The Promobiomasse project moves into action
The sixth project Steering Committee meeting held at Oloron-Sainte-Marie (Pyrenées Atlantiques, France) saw the presentation of a number of initiatives seeking to advance in the promotion of the local biomass market
A wood boiler user group is created in the Atlantic Pyrenees
A group of wood boiler users has been created in the Atlantic Pyrenees region, with the aim of exchanging knowledge and gauging a greater understanding of how these boilers work. The group organisation is funded by the Environmental and Energy Management Agency (ADEME), the Regional Council of Aquitaine and the Interreg Promobiomasse project.
Promobiomasse is present at Expobiomasa (Valladolid, Spain)
Is biomass a viable and future-oriented resource? How can we make it environmentally, socially and economically sustainable? The Promobiomasse transnational cooperation project is focussed on proximity, on biomass that is generated and consumed at a local level. This was all explained today at Expobiomasa in a talk given by Ana Áriz, an engineer at Lursarea Nasuvinsa, a partner in the project.
Towards a local, professionalized and sustainable biomass market
This week the Forest Science and Technology Centre of Cataluña is hosting the third Promobiomasse Transnational Technical Committee. Today, the project presented a management model directed at facing the challenges of the agricultural and forest biomass energy market.
Promobiomasse holds its second technical committee meeting in Navarra
A technical group from the European Rehabilite and Promobiomasse projects visited a pilot scheme in a residential area in Sarriguren (district of Pamplona) directed at gradually replacing traditional gas networks with systems powered by renewable energy.
The new website of the project:Promobiomasse, “The energy growing by your side”
The Promobiomasse website was presented by Nasuvinsa, the public company of the Government of Navarra, at the steering committee conducted by all the project partners at Lannemezan, (Occitanie, France). The new website https://promobiomasse.eu, with versions in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese, provides information on the goals and progress of this European project and, in the future, any pilot schemes implemented.
Good practice being studied to improve the local use of forest biomass
More than 50 people, from partners to territorial experts from Promobiomasse, gather in Lannemezan (Occitania, France) to advance the creation of an integrated model for local management of the biomass market
On the 19th, 20th and 21st of February, partners from the SUDOE Promobiomasse project will meet in the Casino at Capvern in Lannemezan (Hautes-Pyrénées) to assess the measures carried out through the project and outline future courses of action.
Presentation of the Promobiomasse in Maldà (Lleida)
On 14th December, the Promobiomasse project was presented in Maldà to a number of agents from the biomass sector in Cataluña. The main objective of the project was to promote the forest biomass energy market in the SUDOE (Southwestern Europe) territory, by developing a supply and demand management model that applies the “short circuit” concept in order to resolve the current problems: destructuring of supply; forest ownership divided into small holdings; inefficient exploitation methods; unknown and insufficient demand.
“Zero kilometre” wood chips in Terrasa (Barcelona)
The district of Vallès Occidental has inaugurated a biomass logistics centre to produce “Zero kilometre” wood chips sourced from sustainable forest use and related to the prevention of fires.
In summer 2018, the Comarca del Vallès Occidental biomass logistics centre started to operate, a key part in the Bosques del Vallès project promoted by the Forest Biomass District Public Service for the prevention of fires and the improvement of the condition of the woodlands.
Project funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
