BIOMONTE Operational Group: Innovation in forest biomass management

The general objectives of GOI BIOMONTE are: To increase the management of Galician forest biomass, promoting climate change mitigation. To define new models for managing Galician forest biomass that enhance resources that are currently either idle or insufficiently valued by rural communities. To incorporate waste from pruning and maintaining urban gardens and other urban spaces into the value chain.

The specific objectives are: The production of stele from residual forest biomass produced in the CMVMC forest of Carballo and other nearby forests. The production of compost and other substrates from the use of biomass in the form of brush existing in the Carballo local forest and other nearby forests, and from the contribution of plant waste from pruning and maintenance to urban gardens.
