Improving the sustainability of charcoal kilns by eliminating the fumes and reusing the gases to obtain natural fertilisers. GO SMOKEOUT
Mejora de la sostenibilidad en hornos de carbón vegetal por eliminación de humos y reutilización de gases para la obtención de fertilizantes naturales. "GO SMOKEOUT"
Contexte
The short and medium-term challenges for the future include the environmental management of its waste and emissions, modernisation and diversification of its production processes, energy efficiency by reducing the biomass to coal conversion ratio, the application of new technologies, improving its commercial prospects, boosting its competitiveness and, in short, increasing the survival rate of charcoal producers in the Extremadura region in line with the decarbonisation targets set out in the Paris Agreements.
Objectives
This project is developing a prototype to enable the filtering and removal of smoke from charcoal production ovens in rural areas. The prototype is based on a smoke filtering and treatment system with washing and recovery of water that will be enriched and is expected to be suitable for the cultivation of microalgae. From these microalgae and other residues from charcoal production, natural products with fertilising properties will be obtained, which will be tested and validated on different crops, as well as on the soil of the pasture itself through agricultural trials designed for this purpose.
Objectives
En este proyecto se está desarrollando un prototipo que permita el filtrado y eliminación de humo en hornos de producción de carbón vegetal en el entorno rural. El prototipo se basa en un sistema de filtrado y tratamiento de humos con lavado y recuperación de agua que estará enriquecida y se espera que sea apta para el cultivo de microalgas. A partir de estas microalgas y otros residuos de la fabricación del carbón vegetal, se obtendrán productos naturales con propiedades fertilizantes que serán testados y validados en diferentes cultivos, así como en el propio suelo de la dehesa mediante ensayos agrícolas diseñados para tal fin.
Activities
