SCIVEN is a Portuguese company specialising in the development of energy production and management systems. The promoter is dedicated to offering solutions that make energy more efficient and affordable for organisations with high energy consumption.

The funds raised in this campaign will finance the installation of a biomass boiler at the José Relvas Foundation, an institution that provides important services to the community, including a retirement home, a day centre and a nursery. Currently, the foundation relies on natural gas to heat water, which represents high costs and a significant environmental impact.

With this new solution, the foundation will be able to reduce energy costs by up to 70% and guarantee an efficient and reliable supply without relying on fossil fuels.

SCIVEN's biomass boiler uses forest biomass waste to generate heat and operates autonomously and efficiently. The system includes the boiler and peripheral equipment, a fuel storage silo with an autonomy of over a month, and a technical room optimised to house the entire system.

This project will enable the José Relvas Foundation to reduce operating costs, improve energy efficiency and minimise environmental impact, guaranteeing a more stable and affordable energy supply.

¿Cuál es el impacto?

Direct

Contribution to the decarbonization of Portugal, avoiding CO2 emissions: Reduced emissions by changing the source of energy from gas to biomass. As of now, the José Relvas Foundation has a natural gas plant installed for the production of thermal energy to meet all the building's needs. Through the company Sciven, the Foundation will install an autonomous biomass-powered thermal plant, capable of fully meeting all the building's thermal energy needs. With the implementation of the proposed systems, it is estimated that the operation of the complex will avoid the emission of approximately 81 tons of CO₂ per year. This is equivalent to the CO2 absorption of 3.861 trees.

Cost reduction for the end customer: The complex will overcome its dependence on fossil-based energy and its exposure to gas price volatility, enabling savings of up to 75% of current heating production costs by using renewable energy.

Indirect

Improvement of the organization's core services: the cost reduction in electricity expenses enables the association to improve their services for the community. Namely:

Residential Structure for the Elderly
Day Centre
Home Support Service
Nursery
Pre-school
Early Childhood Intervention
Social Canteen
