ABOUT THE OBSERVATORY

Welcome to the Electric Forest Motorization Observatory!

Our mission is to promote the decarbonization of forestry and industrial activities by adopting sustainable technologies. Aligned with the Roadmap for Carbon Neutrality in Portugal (RNC 2050) and the European Commission’s Green Deal Pact.  With the collaboration of co-promoters, experts and various entities, we are working strategically and innovatively to achieve our goals.

Through demonstrations and productivity analyses, we aim to train human resources and promote a technological transition in the replacement of fossil equipment with renewable alternatives, positively impacting the entire forestry value chain. Our prospective development model identifies innovative solutions and adapts them to the specific needs of small, medium and large properties, promoting a more sustainable and technologically advanced future for forest management.

Our main goals are based on:

  • Monitor trends in electric mobility by benchmarking electric, hybrid and hydrogen vehicles, as well as promoting demonstration sessions.

  • Analyze the environmental impacts of fossil fuel operations and compare them with electric alternatives, highlighting benefits and methodologies such as calculating the ecological footprint.

  • Develop sustainable strategies and actions for the adoption of electric mobility solutions, based on technical and scientific knowledge, and promote the digital publication of studies, reports and research results.

Join us on this journey to develop an unprecedented “Green Deal” solution for the forest bioeconomy, aimed at transforming the current scenario and promoting a more sustainable and prosperous future.
