Energy nature trail

In Güssing, the energy nature trail was completed in November 2010. The path on the subject of renewable energy in Güssing leads from the cultural centre along the cycle path in the direction of Strembach. On a total of 12 boards the topic renewable energy is presented in a particularly vivid way. Energy saving measures and the energy production plants in the district of Güssing are also shown. The nature trail was designed and installed in cooperation between the European Centre for Renewable Energy (EEE) and the Güssing schools (VS, HS, BORG and Landwirtschaftliche Fachschule) and is the result of the project "generation innovation" (bmvit and bmukk). In the course of this project, an information screen was also installed on the main square. This is located in the cinema window. This information screen also gives information about the project "generation innovation", and refers to the new educational trail and informs about the unique development of renewable energy in the district of Güssing. The new energy nature trail has been officially opened in spring 2011.

HERZLICH WILLKOMMEN!
Renewable energy has brought a lot to the city of Güssing in the last years. So that this development does not stand still, several schools in Güssing and the EEE have decided to do so, to participate in the "generation innovation" project (Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology and Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture) The focus of generation innovation is the direct dialogue between the young generation and the researchers and innovators of the present day.
The following schools were involved in the project: VS Güssing, HS Güssing, LFS Güssing and BORG Güssing. During the whole school year 2009/2010, these schools increasingly integrated the topic of renewable energy into their lessons. This educational trail was the highlight and at the same time the conclusion of the project work.

CO2 heats up the earth!
During photosynthesis, trees absorb carbon dioxide, water and solar energy. they incorporate the carbon into the wood substance and release oxygen into the atmosphere.
Burning wood produces cosy, environmentally friendly heat. The carbon is released again and returns to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
CO2 - Carbon
O2 - Oxygen

BIOMASS - Proper class!

Biomass is defined as the total organic substance. The basis for the formation of biomass is photosynthesis, which is mainly carried out by plants, in which solar energy is absorbed and stored by forming biomass. Biomass includes both living plants and the organic matter derived from them, such as animals and microorganisms, as well as dead organic matter such as dead wood, leaves, straw and others. They are therefore also referred to as renewable resources. Fossil energy sources (coal, oil and natural gas) derived from biomass are not allocated to it.
