From the sustainable forest management to the short wood-energy supply chain: the experience of the ForBioEnergy project in the Madonie Natural Park

The ForBioEnergy Project (Interreg MED Programme), implemented as part of a partnership between four countries of the MED Area (Italy, Spain, Croatia and Slovenia), assessed the possibility of producing bioenergy using biomass from the sustainable forest management in the protected areas of the Mediterranean. In Italy, the pilot protected area was the Madonie Natural Regional Park (Sicily). After the establishment of the protected area (in 1989), both for socio-economic reasons and for the regime of the constraints introduced, the silvicultural activities were almost completely abandoned. On the one hand, this has made it possible to reduce the excessive exploitation of forest resources and…

ForBioEnergy - Forest Bioenergy in the Protected Mediterranean Areas

The ForBioEnergy project, funded within the INTERREG MED Programme 2014-2020, involved a Lead Partner (Regional Department for the Rural and Territorial Development, Sicily Region), 8 project partners from 4 Mediterranean countries (Italy, Spain, Slovenia and Croatia) and 4 Associate Partners from Italy (Ente Parco delle Madonie, AIEL, Enviland, Petralia Sottana) and Croatia. It is an innovative project which bets on the chance to favor the sustainable development of the rural areas through the exploitation of the forest biomass for the production of bioenergy. However, most of the Mediterranean forests are within protected areas, where the current regulatory restrictions and the lack of ma…

SISTEMA PER IL CONTROLLO DELLA TRASPARENZA PER INFISSI IN EDILIZIA.

Il brevetto fa riferimento ad un sistema che consente di controllare e variare la trasparenza del vetro con il minor dispendio di energia elettrica possibile, facendo uso di materiali e tecnologie che permettono la produzione di lastre di dimensioni tali da rientrare nella media di quelle più usate in edilizia e a costi tali da essere competitive rispetto a quelli dei vetri usuali per infissi in commercio, in rapporto alle prestazioni offerte. Il sistema può essere prodotto industrialmente, in questo caso, l’inserimento in un ciclo di produzione renderebbe estremamente più semplice la realizzazione di alcune parti e competitivo il costo rispetto a quelli attualmente in commercio. Le caratte…
