We absorb CO2 in Montserrat

A set of absorption projects promoted by Eurofred, CaixaBank and Grupo Sylvestris aimed at offsetting corporate emissions. The project is executed by Grupo Sylvestris, which has been developing absorption projects for years both on its own behalf and for other entities seeking to offset their CO2 emissions. The project is included in the MITECO's Absorption Projects Register and involves the restoration of 28 ha of forest affected by a forest fire in El Bruc (Barcelona). The restoration is based on autochthonous species suited to the environment of the area. The composition of the species was designed in agreement with the forest managers so that it would be resilient and offer multiple services such as fruit, firewood, browsing, etc. Quercus ilex subsp. ballota, Pinus pinea, Prunus dulcis, Crataegus monogyna and Arbutus unedo were planted and Pinus halepensis was planted. Planting is carried out with minimum impact on the soil and individual ground protectors were installed. A final density of 400-500 ft/ha is expected.
