Bioenergies

menu

Thanks to biomass energy or energy crops production (agricultural biodegradable products, biodegradable waste and residue coming from agriculture and silviculture), it is possible to significantly fight against climate changes and foster sustainable energy production.

Agroenergies

Through agroenergies, it is possible to produce energy from agricultural processes or forestry products, such as wood, in view of multifunctionality purposes in agriculture.

  • www.centrocollina.unito.it (scientific literature, development and research projects regarding European and National hill areas related, in turn to energy measures and other similar researches)

  • http://www.crpa.it/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=3995 (this site is referring to Seq-Cure project, managed by CRPA and financed by the EU Life III, which has been dealing with Energy production involving biomass from agronomic, energy and environmental points of view. The cases of 13 plants placed in as many farms from Emilia Romagna and Marche Regions follow herein).

Renewable energy

Renewable Energy is produced by energy natural sources which can be used without affecting the related consumption by future generations. Rural development policy gives its important contribution in using energy more efficiently in agriculture, thus promoting low impact energy sources.
