Where is it ?Europe - Portugal - Trás-os-Montes Region - - Oldest Port Wine production area - about 200 Km2
Resource caracterization and quantification Generalcaracterístics Potencial
Technical Viability Before Pack up by manual means Now Mechanical Recovery
Produced Energy Spended Energy Economic viability The most competitive process, mechanical recovery and splinter Briquet. Estilhação Mat.S/ Transf. Energetic viability Energy produced per ton is much higher than that consumed during material transformation, Which would be decisive to future resource profit
Environmental Aspects • Atmosferic impacts • CO2 emissions from wine prunings ocurre anyway since they are burned in the vineards but:o Evita a emissão de 48760 ton CO2 (11,7% emissions in the DNVMA 46.000 ton. AMVDN • Soil impacts Low variations in the soil organic mater levels Avoids disease proliferation Maintain employment levels Soil organic mater
Conclusions • Great available potencial at local level • The great possibility to turn this residuals in a outcome and not only a single expense. • This material will undoubtedly substitue fossil fuel in heating sistems, at leas at local level, becoming in the near future something useful and new
