Spanish term

limpieza del monte

Spanish to English Science Environment & Ecology Renewable energy- biomass
Las energías renovables se encuentran en la naturaleza de manera ilimitada, además, no provocan emisiones dañinas al medioambiente como sí ocurre con las energías no renovables y los combustibles fósiles.

La biomasa se ha instalado en el mercado de nuestro país y se presenta como una revolución en la generación de energía renovable y limpia.
Desde cáscaras de frutos secos, hasta los residuos de limpieza del monte pueden ser utilizados para fabricar combustible de biomasa.

This seems to be using the leaves and leftovers from some sort of pruning or countryside management scheme, but "monte "seems to refer to more than just mountain landscapes.
