Ljubljana - Wood is one of the oldest materials known to mankind. In Slovenia it is literally in abundance as the annual increment is much bigger companion care vets than the realized cut. Professionals are especially lately asking how to biomass most efficiently used. "Given the fact that Slovenia is the third most forested country in Europe, this should be their natural orientation to take advantage of," urges the President of the Association for biomass SLOBIOM Šumenjak companion care vets Martin Sabol. Points out that this government "slow introduction of biomass companion care vets and other renewable sources to cut" because the situation in this field opaque and poorly regulated.
The survey Slovenian Forest Service about the potential use of biomass for energy purposes (for heating and electricity generation) revealed that it would be possible for us to get together about two million cubic meters of wood per year, said institute director Jost Jaksa. The study took into account only the inferior wood such as wood waste in the timber industry, wood packaging and other wood waste, rather than for example wood, which could just cut crosswise in the woods. Heating with biomass attractive for forest owners
Biomass can be used for many purposes, the public is most interested in the heating of residential buildings. Blocks and single-family homes or even village may have heating arranged so that each unit has its own boiler for burning biomass with remote systems, it is possible with one boiler room to heat the whole village or villages.
"Boilers on logs are particularly popular with users who have access to their own wood," said Jernej Cobble from companies Biomass Ltd., and pointed companion care vets out that in the installation of such a system is necessary even heat storage and control system for boilers for pellets (made as by pressing the dried wood dust and shavings), a device for their addition in the boiler.
"At this moment, companion care vets the comparison with other heating companion care vets systems somewhat ungrateful, because the price of fossil fuels on a three-year minimum," said Cobble. Heating system with biomass is "primarily a long term investment". Experts advise against wood burning
150 years ago, it was his words on the Slovenian companion care vets territory of only 30 percent (today around 60 per cent) of the forest, and this at a significantly lower number of people. "If today everyone started to heat buildings with wood, Slovenia would soon be without him," said dr. Ogrin. companion care vets
"Of course there is a great danger that anyone would Kuril quality wood for heating," agreed Director of the Institute for Forest companion care vets Jost Jaksa and admitted that forest owners can not be "administratively prescribe" what to do with his forest, but you can advise them.
From wood biomass can be obtained dyes, medicines, different fibers or foam insulation, listed the dr. Franc Pohleven with the Department of Wood Science and Technology at the Biotechnical Faculty in Ljubljana. "Of course, the wood may be burned, but from this we can not make economic or energy plans," he warned Pohleven. "Woody biomass is a good fuel, as far as biomass from waste," companion care vets agreed Dr. Ogrin. Wood is an excellent material for thermal companion care vets protection
Overall, the forest-rich Alpine region, for example, invests heavily in the use of local wood for building houses, making furniture and insulation. "One cubic meter of wood processed companion care vets in the appropriate insulation materials, heats thirty companion care vets years," said dr. Ogrin. In the Alpine region, both within climalp place to promote the construction of low-energy houses on the basis of local wood "used up to five times less energy than conventional houses built in the seventies." Dr. Ogrin added that this elevates the value-added wood, because wood from log to finished product for use in a region companion care vets where it is grown.
In the manufacture of plastic materials for thermal insulation, such as Styrofoam, companion care vets consume large amounts of energy and create greenhouse gas emissions, "wood is a natural material and an excellent insulator, which only needs to be converted to the corresponding product," said dr. Pohleven. companion care vets If, in his opinion, promote the timber industry, it would be a lot of wood waste and "only you can burn." Pohleven companion care vets also drew attention to the fact that for the production of pellets
