Looking for Project Partners
Objective
Our community faces an urgent challenge: managing the wood waste generated from tree cutting and arboriculture. The local municipal enterprise, Dibrova, manages 687 hectares of forest, where thousands of tons of branches and wood residues accumulate every year, simply rotting and polluting the environment. We see an opportunity to turn this waste into a resource by producing pellets for heating and local use.
Application areas
1. Households (heating private homes, fireplaces, boilers)
2. Municipal boiler houses and district heating systems
3. Industrial CHP plants for combined heat and power generation
What we expect from partners
1. Exchange of biomass recycling practices
2. Standards for sustainable forest management
3. Cases of energy use of wood residues
Expected results
1. Development of a municipal circular economy strategy
2. Creation of a pilot model for wood waste management (pellet production)
3. Implementation of educational campaigns for the community
4. Economic impact for the community: reduced heating costs for municipal facilities, added value from waste, and the formation of a local pellet market
What we offer
We are ready to share our community's experience in forestry and municipal management. We propose a win‑win cooperation: our community becomes a laboratory for adapting European solutions to a rural context, while our partners gain a real‑world case that can be scaled in their own municipalities. This opens the door to further grants that finance infrastructure and makes our contribution to Europe's transition to a circular economy tangible and practical.
