Transformative Pilot Action (TPA) Project on Bioenergy for Boryslav – phase 2

The goal of the project is to carry out Transformative Pilot Action (TPA) on the effective management and use of green waste (wood, branches) using the MK-120BD woodchipper within the action research and implementation program in Boryslav (Lviv region) launched by the Center for Development and Environment (CDE) / University of Bern (Switzerland) in the cooperation with Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL), Ukrainian National Forestry University (UNFU) and Boryslav City Council

To achieve the goal, it is planned to purchase the MK-120BD disk-type woodchipper, which chops branches and other wood waste into technological chips 5...50 mm in size. The maximum diameter of the branches is 120 mm, depending on the species and humidity of the trees. Ready wood chips are fed through the outlet socket under pressure. The chipper can change the direction of the chip flow 360 degrees. The chipper is powered by an 18 hp gasoline engine. The woodchipper is intended to meet the needs of the utility company “Zelenyy Svit” of the Boryslav City Council. The director of the Center for Ecology, Tourism and Sustainable Development, scientist Myron Zeitler, who coordinates the work on behalf of the Boryslav City Council, participates in the project. The guarantee of successful and long-term cooperation of the project partners for the community of Boryslav is the interest of the mayor Mr. Ihor Yavorskyi in the results of the projects and comprehensive support for their successful progress.

The implementation of the project became possible thanks to the financial support by Swiss support and is based on the previous cooperation of partners within the framework of the implementation of the project “Identifying of green energy opportunities in the Ukrainian Carpathians”, which was part of the project Kooperation in der Waldforschung Ukraine-Schweiz 2017-2020.
