But when we talk about ‘biomass’ what do we mean? The term ‘biomass’ refers to renewable raw materials that are obtained from the waste and residues of agricultural, livestock and forestry activities, as well as from crops specifically intended for energy production. Biomass is one of the largest renewable resources available.
Bioenergy plants produce electricity by means of steam generated by burning agricultural, industrial and municipal waste. The materials are burnt in a combustion chamber, producing the heat necessary to transform the water in the thermodynamic circuit into steam. Biomass, therefore, is a key resource in today’s increasingly conscious use of energy.
In addition to being used for energy purposes, the recovery of the agricultural by-product can also ensure a number of positive effects on crops and soil such as:
active reduction of pests
less disease and mould in subsequent crops
improved nutrient management.
It is in this context that the collaboration between BERTI and BioG was born, an Austrian company that has been a reference point for years in terms of using its technology and experience to develop increasingly renewable energy sources, and which has allowed the birth of LAND/P BioG series, the new mulcher that becomes part of the BERTI agricultural range.
Recommended for mulching and recovery of agricultural by-products, Land/P BioG series allows mulching and swathing of crop residues in a single operation.
