Abstract:
SILVAPOR is a Portuguese SME based in Idanha-a-Nova that provides services across the country integrated in the promotion, protection and rural and environmental conservation, facing annually huge amounts of waste removed during thinning of forest. Into the scope of industrial-academic projects and within the need for an integrated forest policy that promotes the sustainability of the forest and its management, and also the prevention of forest fires, the present study aims at develop environmentally sustainable operations towards a micro-scale integrated biorefinery unit at SILVAPOR premises, capable of processing different types of biomass into bioproducts and energy, as an alternative to open burning.
