PROGETTO FUOCO
the most important fair in the world in the biomass heating sector
Today energy from wood and biomass is a sector that in Italy is worth 4 billion euros, involves 14 thousand companies in a supply chain that goes «from the forest to the fireplace», with an employment impact of 72 thousand employees, of which 43 thousand direct and 29,000 associated to related industries.
The continuous technological innovation of the sector, with the use of new generation plants to replace the old plants, has made possible to avoid over the last year the emission into the atmosphere of about 2,200 tons of particulate matter (PM) and about 160 thousand tons of CO2 equivalent per year.
The challenge of the future is to reduce by at least 70% the emissions of fine particles deriving from the domestic combustion of biomass.
