Workshop at FIMA – 27th April: Innovative practices for bioenergy and biochar from agricultural biomass
29 March 2022
On 27th April INtercamBIOM is organising a workshop to promote the collection and use of biomass through innovations that are already in practice.
The conference will present the case of the use of vine pruning in Vilafranca del Penedés for energy purposes, a prototype of pre-pruning vine shoot collection, technologies already available to obtain biochar on an industrial scale, and a cleaning system to improve the quality of olive stone as biofuel.
The promoters will explain their innovations and a round of exchange will be opened to learn more about how to adopt it and what barriers need to be overcome.
