"SCHOTT ROBAX® IN FRONT - THE NEWS" - with this headline invites SCHOTT ROBAX® to take a look at the future at the Expobiomasa trade fair held in Valladolid from 24 to 26 in september
“SCHOTT ROBAX® IN FRONT – THE NEWS” – Under this headline, SCHOTT ROBAX® is inviting visitors to take a look into the future at the Expobiomasa trade fair in Valladolid from September 24 - 26, 2019 (Hall 4/Booth 465). The premium brand will captivate visitors with hot news about its glass-ceramic fire-viewing panels. For instance, the ROBAX® IR Max coating can now be combined with all decorative colors the brand has to offer. The interior paneling ROBAX® Magic with Signature Impressions allows manufacturers of gas fireplaces to create completely new designs and flame effects.
Serial production of ROBAX® fire-viewing panels started 40 years ago and more than 100 million units have since been sold. At the SCHOTT ROBAX® booth the visitors can experience an insight into the contemporary history: Here, the innovations that have made the brand successful yesterday and today – and will make it successful tomorrow – come alive.
News for creative minds: ROBAX® IR Max with highly flexible printing
Good news for manufacturers and lovers of wood fireplaces: The ROBAX® IR Max heat-reflecting fire-viewing panel can now be combined with all ROBAX® decorative colors. This also includes three Metallic Design Effects, each combining two printing colors. The coated glass-ceramic reflects up to seven times more heat radiation back into the combustion chamber than an uncoated fire-viewing panel. This applies to infrared radiation (IR) in the wavelength spectrum between 800 and 8000 nanometers.
News for trendsetters: ROBAX® Magic with Signature Impressions
The gas fireplaces so popular in the United States are also becoming increasingly popular in Europe, which has traditionally been dominated by wood. Gas fireplace manufacturers now have even more opportunities to differentiate themselves. The interior paneling ROBAX® Magic increases the design variety with “Signature Impressions,” a new collection of color, surface or print decorations, which create new visual effects: The flames appear larger and the combustion chamber deeper. Unlike other interior materials, no discoloration occurs. The panels offer excellent reflectivity and have a modern look. Several design examples will be on display at the trade fair, allowing customers to choose from a wide range of possible combinations.
News for curious developers
“We also have a surprise waiting for curious fireplace designers in our exhibition bag. Visitors to our booth will have the exclusive opportunity to experience the prototype of a world innovation on site,” says Stephanie Schwarz, Head of Sales & Marketing for SCHOTT ROBAX®.
Visitors should also make note of the second day of the fair (Wednesday, September 25, 2019) in their calendars: Starting at 16 p.m., SCHOTT will be staging a little “Get-together”. “Everyone is cordially invited to join us,” says Stephanie Schwarz.

According to data from the Ministry of Industry, in Spain there are more than 30.000 companies trained to perform thermal installations in buildings (RITE). According to estimates from the National Biomass Observatory, which is managed by Avebiom from 2009, an 27% of these companies have operated with biomass equipment on at least one occasion.
By the end of 2018, almost 300.000 biomass installations for thermal use were operating in Spain. Most are small power equipment, stoves and boilers of less than 50 kW for the domestic heating sector.
Certificación
This seal has been launched in collaboration with the Institute of the Construction of Castilla y León (ICCL), which acts as a certification entity throughout the national territory. ICCL, as an external certification entity, contributes to the model developed by Avebiom the guarantee of impartiality, technical competence, transparency and confidentiality necessary throughout the certification process. The scope of certification extends to the entire value chain, including the design, assembly, operation, maintenance and repair of facilities.
The technical director of ICCL, Felipe Romero, and the head of certification of this entity, Javier Vielba, showed that this certification "is born with a national vocation, so that it will soon allow offer quality guarantees through companies throughout Spain. " In fact, they said, the first three certifications "already reflect that trend, given that they are companies from Andalusia, Madrid and Castilla y León."
To obtain the seal, installers have to comply a series of defined requirements in the 'Letter of Quality' regarding its organization, the degree of specialization, the experience demonstrated, the conditions of service provision, the response to the client, the availability of qualified technical personnel and the available material resources.

In recognition of the different actions, both outreach, support and investment, developed in recent years, especially in regard to the use of biomass for thermal generation in both public and private buildings.
The Spanish Association of Energy Valorization of Biomass (Avebiom) has awarded the prize 'Foster 2019 Bioenergy' to the Basque Energy Agency (EVE) in recognition of the different actions, both of disclosure and of support and investment, developed in recent years, especially in relation to the use of biomass for thermal generation in both public and private buildings.
The jury has wanted recognize the trajectory of this public entity in the promotion of the use of biomass throughout its 37 years of history. The president of Avebiom, Javier Díaz, will present the prize within the framework of the Expobiomasa Fair, in Valladolid, the next 24 in September.
The Basque Energy Agency (EVE) was created in 1982 and is the Basque Government Energy Agency, whose mission is to propose energy strategies under the criteria of supply guarantee, cost competitiveness, sustainability and technological development; as well as actively participate in its development and contribute to the achievement of the objectives defined in them.
The Basque Country is a region with high energy consumption that has always been committed to the promotion of energy efficiency and renewable energy, especially biomass, as it has the greatest potential. Currently it is the 80% of the total share of renewable energies in the energy balance.
The EVE carried out the first assessment of the Community's energy potential in 1985. And in the decade of the 90 carried out different technology research and development projects based on pyrolysis and gasification to address different types of uses. In addition, studies of identification and characterization of resources were carried out.
It also established several companies, with town halls and mancomunidades, to energetically value biogas from various landfills. And a series of studies began to evaluate the potential of other 'biomastic resources'.
Later, promoted projects to start electric generation plants based on forest and agricultural biomass, At the same time, the study and exploration of new technologies to use biomass for thermal purposes was strengthened. Noteworthy is its commitment to the use of pellets and the impetus to replace traditional boilers with new systems, which offer the same service in an automated and sustainable manner.
Currently, in line with the European strategies to boost renewables aimed at the decarbonisation of the energy sector, it is developing various annual aid programs, through which thermal biomass installations have been promoted near 4.000, which have achieved a impact on Basque society by modifying its traditional consumption patterns.

In general terms, the data provided by www.observatoriobiomasa.es are positive for the sector. Thus, at the close of 2018, 298.399 stoves and boilers powered by biomass were operating in Spain, 53.480 more than the previous year.
In general terms, the data provided by www.observatoriobiomasa.es shows positive for the sector. Thus, at the close of 2018 they operated in Spain 298.399 stoves and boilers powered by biomass, 53.480 more than the previous year. Equipment sales have increased an 16,2%, but it has been unevenly, more stoves than high power boilers.
The biggest increase in heating installations with biomass has been driven by the sale of new pellet stoves, which in 2018 rose to the 50.130 units. This sales figure, which represents a new record in Spain, although far from the sales in countries such as Italy or France with figures that double and triple the Spanish market.
Number biomass boilers for individual or domestic use, with power lower than 50kW, an 7,1% has been increased, maintaining a positive trend. But the installation of boilers with a power equal to or greater than 50 kW, common in industrial and collective installations, dropped an 10%. Two key reasons for this slowdown have been collected: the first is that it came from a situation of low prices of fossil fuels, causing the projects to include costs without updating; and the second, it was a stagnant political situation at all levels that affected the approval of aid lines, stopped numerous municipal projects, and created a situation of business instability that negatively impacted investment plans. Luckily, both situations are changed.
This evolution has allowed the biomass boiler park to be located at the end of 2018 in 18.127 facilities with a power lower than the 50 kW; 11.214, with a power between 50 and 1000 kW; and 1.138 boilers more than one power 1MW. For its part, the number of operational stoves is from 267.920 in Spain.

The European Pellet Conference, held this year in Wels has been the scene in which the conference director, Christiane Egger, highlighted the growth of biomass in Upper Austria, the region where the event takes place: the 35% of the heaters Domestic already works with biomass.
The European Pellet Conference, held this year in Wels has been the scene in which the conference director, Christiane Egger, highlighted the growth of biomass in Upper Austria, the region where the event takes place: 35% of domestic heating systems already work with biomass.
La substitution of old installations of diesel and other fossil fuels by modern biomass boilers has achieved reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a 43% in 10 years (2005-2015) in the residential sector.
Egger trusts in the "stick and carrot" technique: bans on diesel boilers (stick) and aids, both to the replacement of boilers and to innovation.
Gas oil heating systems will be prohibited in Austria from 2020.
The next step will be to prohibit the installation of gas heaters. For the moment, since the January 1 2019, diesel heating in new buildings in Lower Austria is prohibited. Vienna implemented the measure at the end of March, going a step further by prohibiting the use of diesel in the renovation of large buildings.
Austria waits replace 600.000 diesel heating systems in the next years. In this way, it would achieve a double economic objective: reduce penalties for non-compliance with its climate objectives and reduce imports of fossil fuels.
Advantage Austria coordinates the participation of the leading companies in the biomass sector in Austria: Herz, Okofen, Rika, Solarfocus, Hargassner, Windhager, Hass + Sohn, Kohlbach, Austrian Email and ETA.
