After having identified, in a previous work [6], the possible sites for the location of a new cogeneration plant using wood biomass in the Mountain Community of Carnia, Friuli Venezia Giulia Region (Italy), the technical and economic feasibility and environmental sustainability of such a system has been carried out in order to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed solution.
In this paper are presented:
- the design of a cogeneration plant and the district heating network serving the thermal loads;
- the economic evaluation of the investment among the alternative;
- the environmental sustainability of the cogeneration plant and the district heating network compared to the conventional systems.
