Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This session focuses on the different environmental effects provided by fast growing plantations for energy. In addition to wood biomass, some plantations can deliver alternative ecosystem services. In the last years, several studies have analysed the environmental profile of willow and poplar plantations in Europe, with their effects on landscape, biodiversity, soil and water. In general, there has been positive effects on biodiversity, water and soil, with particular emphasis to wastewater applications and soil remediation of heavy metals. Among the implementations of this environmental benefits, the wastewater treatment plant of Enk\u00f6ping stands out as a successful example of business model. The plant includes a plantation system to treat wastewater through irrigation, and additional areas for the sludge, which are used in a combined way to both the water treatment plant and the district heating plant. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
