2. EU Biomass Forum 2010 -
Driving progress within the European Bio Economy
Global demand for biomass is rapidly increasing, especially in Europe where EU
2020’s target for renewable energy is a major driver for this growth. Biomass has
long been widely used for power generation and heating, but the industry is facing
new challenges – both in the policy framework and the biomass feedstock chain –
which are impacting this growth.
IQPC’s Biomass Forum 2010 will focus on these challenges by bringing together
Europe’s leading authorities and key market players. Together, we will be able
to clarify the steps needed to ensure a competitive Biomass framework and a
sustainable biomass value chain.
Ensure you are there to access and shape debate on these key topics:
Who will attend?
POLICY: Which European and local measures are being taken to promote,
support and drive usage of renewable energy sources? Utility Representatives:
AVAILABILITY: How to mobilise further biomass feedstock for biomass stations, Senior Project Managers specialising
