The Conference will focus on the factors affecting the future of the bioenergy. The programme consists of conference presentation and technical tours. The abstracts will play a very important role of the programme. There will also be invited speakers. At the moment an important role is to create forest energy markets and mobilisation. We like to learn more about examples how to create markets and to overcome barriers on national and international markets. Some countries, as e.g. Russia, and areas, as e.g. North America and South America, have huge forest resources and will play an important role in international business. Other important thing is forest energy resources in national strategies. Modern technologies for forest fuel production, handling transport and logistics will be presented and shown during technical tour to FinnMetko exhibition. Combustion, boiler technologies and Combined Heat and Power Production (CHP) -power plants for forest fuels are of importance in practical use. The conference will also focus on conversion technologies, especially production of transport fuels and pyrolysis. Wood pellets are important in changing heating systems from fossil fuels to renewables. Wood pellets can also be used in coal power plants.
For the European Union countries of importance are the role of forest fuels in achieving the ambitious targets for 2020 and presented in the national renewable energy action plans to be published in June 2010.
