| Has description | A reliable evaluation of biomass availability for renewable energy production purposes must take into account the local forest resources management and the ability to reach forest areas, which is related to the existing road network, and to the characteristics and morphology of the terrain.
In Alta Valle di Non there are a number of sawmills which produce logging residues, and some co-generation heating plants. Main purpose of this case study was to get information for optimizing the characteristics (number, size and location) of the existing and even new heating plants. The main software used was BIOMASFOR (Zambelli et al. 2012), that is a GIS decision support tool which runs under GRASS-GIS software. Biomasfor estimates forest biomass availability for energy production, at the same time supporting management decisions, combining the morphological features of the mountain landscape with the current capabilities of forest technology. It performs a multistep analysis considering ecological, technical and economic issues. Ecological and technical information is obtained from forest management plans and from terrain models. Besides Biomasfor data, other economic features were obtained by a questionnaire sent to harvesting enterprises, sawmills and the municipality administrations. The outcome of the evaluation process have already been reported to the stakeholders, in particular to the mayors of the municipalities interested, in a public meeting. |
