Potential Study of Biomass in the Area of Cartagena (Spain)under the ENERING LIFE+ European Project

The ENERING LIFE + project is focused on demonstrating the possibilities of reduction of pow er demand and CO 2 emissions in industrial parks, by applying environmental and economically feasible solutions in a real industrial environment. This pr oposal is based on buildings design, passive energy solutions for existing buildings and, mainly, the integration of local renewable resources to cover common necessities of installations in industrial parks and industries compensating/reducing CO 2 emissions. The project is located in the industrial area of “L os Camachos” (37.635781, -0.90384) in the city of Cartagena, Spain, where the company Diego Zamora SL has established its new facility dedicated to the p roduction and storage of liquors. As a preliminary solution t o decrease the power demand was proposed the use of autochthonous biomass from the nearby area to suppl y heat and cool (using absorption machine) within the manufacturer process. In this work, a methodology f or the estimation of the quantity of biomass and its energ y potential in the area of Cartagena is determined by using a GIS solution. Result allows us to optimize biomass supply and logistical issues at the project facilities.
