The Secretary General of universities, research and technology of the Ministry of innovation and science of Andalusia has officially informed the CTAER -Advanced technological centre of renewable - energy incentives requested three of their research projects of excellence, those relating to the acquisition of technical equipment for the energetic use of waste from the olive grove.
Three motivated projects with a total of 408.675 euros and have developed over a period of two to three years. The first project, are intended to improve the current machine's collection of wood waste, the so-called SAT-4; by the second, will characterize from the olive industry solid biofuels; and the third project, carried out the work prior to the installation of a test bench of biomass boilers of up 50kW, which is the domestic range.
Convert the residue of the olive grove so abundant in Andalusia in a source of energy is one of the main lines of research in the area of biomass of the CTAER.
Convert the residue of the olive grove so abundant in Andalusia in a source of energy is one of the main lines of research in the area of biomass of the CTAER. Valerian Ruiz Hernández, President of the CTAER considers "that the biomass of the olive grove and other forms of energy from biomass is an essential element in the development of a new energy system with less pollution and making us more independent of foreign energy resources." "Especially if we are able to take advantage of them in hybridization with other renewable energy form very abundant in Andalusia, the direct solar radiation".
