An example of microgeneration in Italy

BRANCHES was an H2020 “Coordination Support Action” project, that brought together 12 partners from 5 different countries. The overall objective of BRANCHES was to foster knowledge transfer and innovation in rural areas (agriculture and forestry), enhancing the viability and competitiveness of biomass, supply chains and promoting innovative technologies, rural bioeconomy solutions and sustainable agricultural and forest management. The Practice Abstract presents the story of Cip Calor Ltd, a small forest company that decided to build and manage a plant, in order to capture a larger share of the added value in forest fuels while finding a viable outlet for the less valuable component of their annual harvest.
