Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)
Feasibility
Local Timber and Manufacturing Processes.
Short description
The project assessed the technical and economic feasibility of manufacturing cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels in Catalonia using local timber. A prototype was created, evaluating wood processing, product quality, and market potential. Results indicated strong material performance but challenges in cost and availability of raw materials. Further research is suggested to enhance processing yields and competitiveness. Overall, CLT production in Catalonia is technologically feasible, with potential for growth in demand.

Abrasion and Steel Bonding
Short description
It examines the low usage of synthetic cable in Catalonia's timber harvesting due to its high cost and rapid wear. It proposes a solution involving a synthetic-steel bond in the cable's last meters to reduce abrasion and extend lifespan. The project aims to develop effective bonding techniques that enhance the cable's performance and promote its advantages, ultimately improving its adoption in the industry.

Short description
A collective forest biomass management model in rural areas could enhance the circular economy by reducing fire risks, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and creating jobs. This approach optimizes forest biomass use for thermal energy, bolstering local economies, promoting renewable energy, and offering job opportunities, especially for youth and women, to counteract rural depopulation.

Short description
ForestMap es una plataforma de comercio electrónico que permite a los usuarios realizar inventarios forestales fiables y en línea para un área específica de forma rápida y sencilla. Estima todas las variables relevantes incluidas en un inventario forestal profesional mediante la combinación de datos de teledetección preprocesados y potentes modelos predictivos.
Abstract

La interfaz intuitiva de ForestMap permite a cualquier persona generar automáticamente inventarios forestales de un área elegida sin necesidad de trabajo de campo ni retrasos innecesarios. ForestMap es una solución sin precedentes que ofrece informes de inventarios forestales precisos, rápidos y rentables.

Es necesario integrar un máximo de fuentes de información para generar inventarios lo más precisos, completos y actualizados posibles: LiDAR, satélite, fotogrametría, datos del terreno disponibles...
Las partes interesadas del sector forestal no están acostumbradas a trabajar con herramientas tecnológicas, por lo que es importante realizar una importante labor de demostración y apoyo.

ForestMap tiene un impacto positivo para una mayor movilización de los recursos madereros, permitiendo a los propietarios de los montes, a los operadores y a las industrias evaluar los rodales de una manera fácil y remota. ForestMap es capaz de proporcionar valiosos informes bajo demanda.
Una versión operativa de la plataforma web (enlace) está funcionando para 10 provincias en España, que cubre más de 3 M de hectáreas.
Los modelos de ForestMap han mostrado un alto rendimiento en términos de precisión (volumen BIAS< 20%) y tiempos de respuesta siendo capaces de producir un inventario completo de menos de 500 ha en minutos.
ForestMap se ha utilizado para producir productos a medida para usos y clientes específicos, basados en proyectos de innovación:
-Herramienta para calcular (enlace) la cantidad de carbono en las masas forestales de la provincia de Bizkaia (País Vasco, España).
-Herramienta de mapeo de inventario de modelos de combustible y para la prevención y gestión de incendios forestales en La Rioja.
