Abstract


A plant of municipal central heating feeded with residual biomass, has been created in Cuéllar (Segovia, Spain), in order to demostrate its technical viability and to make more confortable the life of village inhabitants. Those residual biomass used as combustible, comes from the pine seeds, the key industry in the area. The calorific energy generated by combustion of those pine seeds, serves to heat the water to be send later through different pipes crossing the village. So, heating services and sanitary hot water are used according to the moment of the year. The study of the operative plant, allow us to discern the more adecuated operation parameters. reaching a total thermical yield of 60%. So its technical and economical viability concerning other traditional combustibles, its big environmental contribution to the production of energy, in addition to the social advantages -1ike the creation of new working jobs and the development of alternative activities in agricultura1 and forest areas- have contributed to present this plant as a model to be extended to other areas with potential biomass.
