The Agriculture and Fishing Councillor, Clara Aguilera, has presented today in Jaén a Project to finance the installation of Bio-Mass boilers in educational centres on 95 provincial municipalities, being this, the first Pilot Project FARO to be presented in Andalusia. Aguilera has pointed it out as "the first step of a huge requirement of Bio-Mass which will develop greatly the provincial typical sub product guaranteeing its use ".
 The project counts with a global budget of € 4,9 million coo financed between: MARM, Junta de Andalucía and Diputación Provincial de Jaén. It will be divided into three phases: the first one to study the needs of the buildings, the installation will take place on the second phase, and the last one consists on the verification and the start of this system. On the words of Aguliera, the project can be extended to any province of Andalusia, has a double effect: the use of Bio-Mass to heat official buildings and incentivise the buying of olive Bio-Mass.
In addition, this Project “comes before the future laws”, coming on a group of pilot projects called FARO, an experimental application of Law 45/2007 on Sustainable Development of Rural Means. Law by which the MARM and Junta de Andalucía will carry on 43 projects in Andalusia.
These actions will be a proof on the law before its application comes in through “Planes de Zona”, that are being now under elaboration. In the case of Jaén, FARO projects are an environmental measure to reduce the emission of polluting gases, but they are also a way to take advantage on the olive wastes to convert them into selling sub products such as fuels
