IT54-ProBEST/ASHES

Land, bioeconomics, health and circular economics for wood-energy chain

Description

agronomic use of ashes

Sector

A2.1Silviculture and other forestry activities

Needs/ Problem statement

In the production of forest wood fuels, the incombustible elements (ash) must be limited. these can be delivered, essentially at cost price, to thermoelectric plants: an unprofitable and limited solution in the future.

Objective

encouraging the agronomic use of ashes, as a by-product and as a component of fertilisers; favouring the use of biodegradable fluids
