BiomassWorkshop

A catalan association that takes care of the forests (ADF) came to our school to make a speech with the aim to let us know the importance of taking care of the forest in order to prevent fires.

Children learnt many different topics such as:• The differences between

a clean and a dirty forest when a fire starts . In the second one the fire expands more quickly.

• The methods ADF and firefighters use to extinct forest fires.

• The importance of having forests: we need the CO2 of the trees.

• The hectares burnt in our area in the last 20 years.

Then, they explained us the importance of using clean energies and why, and, finally, we focused the subject on the biomass energy.

Our school central heating and hot water works thanks to a biomass central next to the school.

Experts explained us how it works and then we visited the central.
