The Girona Provincial Council, as part of its continuous training cycle for the energy transition, has scheduled a technical workshop for October 22nd. This session will concentrate on the efficient management of forest biomass at the municipal level, highlighting the importance of chip quality control and the use of digital tools for traceability.
Experts and technicians from the corporation will address how parameters such as moisture content, granulometry, and the absence of impurities are crucial for the proper functioning of installations. Low-quality chips can lead to reduced energy efficiency, increased emissions, and costly mechanical failures in public facility boilers.
The training will also include practical instruction on the ForesHEAT platform, a reference tool for managing biomass stocks and supplies in the region. Emphasis will be placed on the need for precise data entry by operators to ensure full traceability of the fuel, from the forest origin to the boiler consumption.
This rigorous digital record will enable a transparent, local, and sustainable chain of custody. Participation in this online capsule is free and open to municipal technicians, energy managers, industry professionals, and local elected officials, with no prior registration required.
