PROGETTO FUOCO
Energy from wood and biomass is now a sector that in Italy is worth 4 billion euros, involving 14 thousand companies in a chain that goes “from the forest to the chimney”, with an employment of 72 thousand employees, of which 43 thousand direct and 29 thousand related to induced.
The continuous technological innovation of the sector has allowed, with the use of new generation plants to replace the old ones, to avoid last year the emission into the atmosphere of about 2,200 tons per year of particulate matter (PM) and about 160 thousand tons per year of CO2 equivalent.
The challenge for the future is to achieve a reduction of at least 70% in emissions of particulate matter deriving from the domestic combustion of biomass.
