Today, March 21, is celebrated the International Day of Forests . An important date that seeks to raise awareness among the population of the importance of sustainable management of forest systems, as a cornerstone of sustainability in the broadest sense of the word. Responsibility with the environment and nature must be addressed as a priority, and as an issue in which companies must take action, with actions always in favor of sustainability.
An action that contributes to safeguarding the health, quality and conservation of our forests and with which we can also contribute to the circular economy is the use of biomass as an energy system, instead of other fossil fuels.
But what is biomass?
Biomass uses organic matter as an energy source. That is, it is a clean and environmentally sustainable fuel that also allows us to significantly reduce the CO2 emitted into the atmosphere.
Veolia , an expert company in energy, water and waste management, seeks to radically change production and consumption patterns in our society, acting around a mission: ecological transformation . With this premise, it has a unit specialized in biomass, which works to create clean energy that is part of the integral cycle of the forest system and that helps safeguard its health.
With this, it has managed to produce 132,000 tons of biomass for its clients throughout Spain in the last year , which would be equivalent to filling the Santiago Bernabéu football stadium almost four times over. Listening to and caring for our nature and our forests, using renewable energies such as biomass, allows us to continue advancing as a society, grow and contribute new resources to the planet.
