Clusters municipais de bioenergia
| Resumo: | After the shock that Portugal suffered with the forest fires at Pedrogão Grande (2017), inspiring critical reflections on the role and social responsibility of Geography is especially relevant to develop an adequate response framework for the protection of life, goods and natural resources. This article reflects on a cause -effect -solution relationship to be established for the prevention of forest fires that articulates the geography of energy with municipal planning. It is a critical reflection on the strategic role of the Municipal Master Plan and the possible contributions that the utilization and valorization of the forest biomass can make, with the view to developing municipal bioenergy clusters. Here, cleaning and collecting forest waste for the production of renewable energy emerge as an opportunity to link energy, forest and economic benefits toward an effective fire risk prevention led by municipal decision making. |
