REMAS
Mitigating carbon
emissions from forest
fires.

REMAS provides, among others, solutions based on scientific analysis to identify critical areas with the highest risk of emissions based on the amount of carbon stored in the forest ecosystem, in order to focus prevention, management, extinction and restoration efforts.

REMAS
Context

The different components of the forest systems, in particular the plants of the different vegetal strata and the soil, can fix significant amounts of carbon through different processes. However, after a forest fire, the ecosystem releases the carbon previously fixed from the atmosphere.

What we offer

Solutions based on scientific analysis to identify critical areas with a higher risk of emissions based on the amount of carbon accumulated in the forest ecosystem, in order to focus the prevention, management, extinction and restoration efforts.

REMAS will transfer…

Its knowledge to other competent authorities in risk prevention and management and to forest owners through technical training.

And it will capitalise…

Its results in medium-long-term strategies of the EU and each country of the consortium in terms of adaptation to climate change, forests and carbon management, integrated into regional strategies to improve governance in the planning and management of the renewable natural resources.
