Research
The following studies were carried out as part of an application for the Incentive Scheme for Research and Technological Development of Individual Projects, approved in March 2014, and integrated the holding of the Workshop on the Incorporation of Waste from Agricultural and Vegetable Origin in the Production of Biocarbons. - Biochar at Ibero Massa Florestal headquarters in 2015. The project corresponded to the development of a set of industrial research activities that culminated in experimental development in order to obtain biochar.
Main results:
1 - The possibility of industrial use of new types of vegetable and agricultural waste, wasted so far, thus ensuring the regular supply of the raw material needed for the industrial production of wood pellets.;
2 - The possibility of industrial production of new products such as biochar and biochar production for the restructuring of agricultural land.
Study of communicable diseases by shredding their prunings on their own vineyards, olive groves, etc.
Study of environmental contamination, including CO2, caused by burning of existing prunings.
Study of the impact on the local / regional economy autarky for the use and energy recovery of pruning.
Logistic impact study and use of regional labor to collect and transport these prunings to a regional industrial unit - Pilot Unit.
Potential heat energy study of each biomass / agricultural and vegetable waste.
Study for the use of pyroligneous extracts and their agricultural applications.
Quantitative study of total agricultural and vegetable waste in each district, mainly Center / North of each pruning biomass.
Survey or others to define the existence of production spots of each agricultural and vegetal residue.
Study of the calorific value of each waste / Carbonized biomass by the new pyrolysis process.
