In the context of guaranteeing the supply of Lebrija Biomass Power Plant (to be built in Lebrija, Sevilla). The strategic approach of planting before the construction of the biomass power plant is starting to produce relevant results after two years of plantation. The size of this plantation makes it one of the most relevant plantations of Short Rotation Coppices (SRC) for biomass world wide and it is an important milestone in Spanish energy crops development.
