We bring our energy to the Montseny Natural Park, World Biosphere Reserve
The southernmost fir forest in Europe is located in the Montseny Natural Park (Barcelona), declared a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1978.
A privileged environment that extends over more than 30,000 hectares. There, in the heart of nature, you can find holiday camps & farmhouses where vulnerable families’ children can enjoy unforgettable summers in a film-like area.
The challenge: installing a generating set in a protected place
Genesal Energy has provided emergency power to guarantee the electricity supply in one of these holiday homes located in Sant Pere de Vilamajor. In such a special and protected place, from an environmental point of view, the care taken when developing the project was of the utmost importance.
Gas generator in natural environment
Genesal Energy’s engineering department paid utmost attention to the location of the generator set, which had to operate in a natural park protected by UNESCO. So, from the very beginning one of the objectives was to reduce the acoustic and visual impact of the generator set so as not to spoil the beauty of the site.
The project included the installation of a gas generator, which is more environmentally friendly in terms of CO2 emissions than a diesel generator. The generator set was manufactured in a soundproof cabin to lower the noise levels of the machine as much as possible.
Technical Data
