OUR SERVICES
We have these service units in relation to biomass innovation and support for the energy transition

Biomass Supply Estimate
- Development of apps to capture data about the demand for solid biomass, such as: web platform for decision makers and academic uses.
- Repository of spatialized and updated databases of different biomass resources..
Particular estimates
- Of the demand of solid biomass local and national level.
- As well as by specific sectors (residential, industrial).
Evaluation
- Of the socio-environmental impacts of the use of biomass.
- Of the logistics costs for different biomass resources.
Optimization
- Location of plants for transformation and use of biomass.

Physical and Mechanical Properties of SBF

- basic density
- apparent density
- granulometry
Chemical and Calorific Properties of SBF
- Immediate or proximal biomass analysis: Tests of in-situ moisture content, volatile material, ash content, fixed carbon and calorific value.
- Immediate or proximal and calorific analysis in charcoal: tests of moisture content, volatile material, ash content, fixed carbon and calorific value.
- Chemical composition of biomass: tests of holocellulose content, tests of lignin content insoluble in acid in wood and content of extracts.
- Analysis of major elements in biomass: Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu and Zn tests
