GreenChainSAW4Life
GreenChainSAW4Life is a project aimed at managing local forests in an innovative, sustainable and shared way, combating climatic and environmental risks such as fires, hydro-geological instability and loss of biodiversity, and using the wood obtained to produce green energy and biomaterials for the benefit of the local economy and Nature by implementing an integrated Local Climate, Energy and Bio-Economy Plan in the Po, Bronda and Infernotto Valleys
Pillars of the project
Climate Smart Forestry
Starting from an analysis of local forest resources taking into account environmental risks and production potential, ‘climate-proof’ silvicultural approaches will be identified and tested on prioritised forests through the involvement of forest owners. The wood from forest improvement works will be used to develop a catalogue of km0 biomaterials and the energy yield of biomass that cannot be processed will be evaluated.
Low Emissions energy community
Following the mapping of energy consumption in the area and the estimation of the current use of energy from fossil fuels, a strategy for energy efficiency and transition to widespread green and low-emission energy generation systems will be planned. By selecting the best available technologies for heating and micro-cogeneration from local wood, the possibility of establishing a local energy community powered by renewable energy will be assessed.
High-tech and participated project
I dati raccolti nel corso delle analisi dei boschi e del sistema energetico locale verranno utilizzati per sviluppare una piattaforma digitale di supporto alla pianificazione, di accesso libero a tutti i soggetti del territorio. Stakeholders will be able to contribute to the planning process through the organisation of thematic events open to the community and through the development of an app for gathering information, opinions and preferences.
