ACREMA Operational Group: Adaptation of resin production to Pinus pinaster stands for wood production purposes
- Type Operational group
- Execution 2021 -2023
- Assigned Budget 558.710,55 €
- Scope Supraautonómico
- Autonomous community Asturias, Principado de; Castilla y León; Galicia
- Main source of financing PEPAC 2014-2020
- Project website https://acrema.es
Description
ACREMA promotes increased productivity of pine stands through the integration of innovative resin utilization that allows obtaining top-quality resin while maintaining their sustainability.
Objectives
- Innovation and optimization of resin extraction systems
- Search for stimulating eco-pastes compatible with an organic production system
- Increased competitiveness through differentiation of a high-quality product that competes in the international market
- Making resin production compatible with the production of quality wood for structural use
- Identification and quantification of positive externalities associated with resin exploitation
- Design and development of a computer tool for decision-making
- Professionalization of the resin sector through technology transfer and innovation generated by the project
Results
- Development of closed-container resin extraction methods taking into account the species, location, extraction method and stimulant paste used
- Obtaining a large number of stimulants to test in trials and thus improve resin production
- Determination of important parameters that will be decisive when classifying the resin according to its quality
- Obtaining data that demonstrates that the management models proposed for developing a resin activity do not affect the structural characteristics of the wood, and that both uses can be compatible with the resulting economic benefit for the owner.
- Identification and quantification of positive externalities: increased forest fire surveillance and prevention, replacement of petroleum derivatives with renewable bioproducts, contribution to population growth in rural areas, and creation of new jobs.
- Development of a decision support system consisting of an interactive simulator with production models and a website with auxiliary variables and resin production maps
- Transfer and dissemination of the knowledge generated by the project through the website (www.acrema.es)
