Završavanje poboljšanog BIOmasud® sustava certificiranja

Tijekom prošle godine provedbe projekta BIOMASUD PLUS, konzorcij je posvetio većinu svojih napora za poboljšanje sustava certificiranja BIOmasud® kvaliteta i održivost (eng. BIOmasud® Quality and Sustainability). Radovi koji su se provodili bili su uključeni u Radni paket 6 koji je uključivao tri glavna zadatka:

  • Pregled priručnika za certificiranje s poboljšanjima,
  • Utvrđivanje strukture sustava u zemljama i
  • Provođenje pilot revizije relevantnih zemalja za testiranje priručnika na terenu.

Smjernice za optimalizaciju korištenja mediteranskih krtih biogoriva u uređajima za izgaranje

U zadnjih nekoliko godina postoji značajan rast na tržištu krutog biogoriva u rezidencijalnom sektoru, posebice u Mediteranskim zemljama. Dodatno, drvni peleti i drvna sječka s Mediterana je korištena kao kruti biogorivni derivat. U sklopu programa Horizont 2020, BIOmasud Plus projekt je sproveo studiju „Rezidencijalni razvoj održivog tržišta uporabom mediteranskog krutog biogoriva“. Osim Hrvatske, u studiju su bile uključene: Italija, Grčka, Portugal, Slovenija i Turska. Ovim studijom je pokazano kako su koštice od maslina najvažniji izvor biogoriva na Mediteranu u rezidencijalnom sektoru/kućanstvima. Štoviše, poljoprivredno obrezivanje maslinastih stabala i vinograda je zabilježeno kao biomasa s enormnim potencijalom za uporabu u proizvodnji krutog biogoriva.

First pilot audits of BIOmasud® in Croatia

Green Energy Cooperative (ZEZ) organized the first pilot audit in Croatia within the project Biomasud Plus from the program Horizon 2020. The overall goal of the project Biomasud Plus is to develop the market of mediterranean solid biofuels with implementing the label of quality and sustainability BIOmasud® for at least two companies producing and /or distributing residential heating solid biofuels within Mediterranean countries.Continue reading

First company certified with BIOmasud® scheme in Slovenia

One of the most important BIOmasud Plus project’s goals is to certify 2 different companies with BIOmasud® certificate within every included partner country and ensure quality of Mediterranean biomass/biofuels for domestic use.

To get the certificate, a company must accomplish 3 conditions: quality, sustainability and traceability of biomass. Certification get companies which produce solid biofuels or trade with them and are committed to obey the rules and conditions of certification system BIOmasud®.Continue reading

First Pilot Audit of BIOmasud® Certification in Turkey

In the scope of the project, each partner involved in the project will implement the certification system in at least two companies producing and /or distributing residential heating solid biofuels within their respective countries. For this purpose, they will initially conduct appropriate dissemination activities among stakeholders identified in WP2 (at least one workshop per country) and will implement auditing systems to be applied to the biofuel producers showing interest to join the label, according the procedures described in the label Handbook.

In Turkey, has been given serious efforts to select companies potentially interested to solid biofuel certification system. Focus group meeting was organized in February 2017. Furthermore, a workshop was organized in October 2017. There were different participants from universities, ministries, solid biofuel producers, societies. TUBITAK contacted a lot of solid fuel producers and explained the project. The most suitable ones were selected from these companies which have ISO 9001 certification system.Continue reading

First Pilot Audit of BIOmasud® in Greece

On July 13th 2018, CERTH organised the first BIOmasud® pilot audit in Greece at the BioAlten pellet production plant in the framework of the Biomasud Plus project.

The scope of the audit was to check whether olive tree pruning pellets could comply with the quality requirements of the revised BIOmasud® Handbook.

The production of olive tree pruning pellets is a demonstration activity within the framework of the AGROinLOG (Horizon 2020-Grant Agreement No 727961) focusing on Integrated Biomass Logistics Centres (IBLCs). The raw material was collected in spring 2018 in the area of Agios Konstantinos, Fthiotida by the local agricultural cooperative.Continue reading

La planta de Greenalia en Sigüeiro (A Coruña) obtiene la certificación BIOMASUD para astillas de calidad

La empresa Greenalia Woodchips S.L.U., ubicada en Sigüeiro (A Coruña), acaba de obtener la certificación de biocombustibles sólidos BIOMASUD para astillas de calidad, gestionada en España por la Asociación Española de Valorización Energética de la Biomasa, AVEBIOM, que lleva en funcionamiento en el país desde 2014.

El objetivo de este sello, que también reconoce la sostenibilidad, es garantizar la calidad de la biomasa de uso doméstico en la región mediterránea de acuerdo a los estándares internacionales (astilla, ISO 17225-4), nacionales (hueso, UNE 164003; y de cáscaras de frutos secos, UNE 164004).Continue reading

Procjena kvalitete čvrstih mediteranskih biogoriva

Unutar projekta BIOMASUD PLUS postoji specijalno poglavlje (WP3) posvećeno uvjetima kvalitete krutih biogoriva za uporabu u kućanstvu koji su integrirani u shemu certificiranja BIOMASUD-a.

Osim postojećih biogoriva predviđa se širenje na dodatna kruta biogoriva proizvedena u mediteranskim zemljama. Trenutno, ne postoji međunarodni standardi kvalitete (ISO) prema kojim bi se ocijenila kvaliteta krutih mediteranskih biogoriva kao što su koštice maslina te ljuske orašastih plodova. 2014. godine uvedena su dva nacionalna standarda u Španjolskoj za ocjenjivanje koštica maslina (UNE 164003:2014) i ljuski orašastih plodova (UNE 164004:2014). Citirani UNE standardi razvijeni su za biogoriva proizvedena u Španjolskoj, Portugalu i Francuskoj, a kako bi bili primjenjivi na države mediteranskog područja potrebna je revizija postojećih standarda. UNE 164004 je razvijen za tri orašasta ploda: badem, lješnjak i pinjola.Continue reading
