Sustainable Bioheat – a key element of the energy transition

As a CO2-neutral fuel, sustainable bioenergy is a key component in decarbonising and securing our energy supply. Market transformation towards modern, efficient and low-emission bioheat systems offers significant opportunities for affordable and local energy supply as well as climate and environment protection.

The training seminar is designed to shed light on bioenergy technologies, market development and the sustainability of bioenergy. What sets this seminar apart is its hands-on approach, allowing attendees to interact with seasoned experts and among each other. The programme is a dynamic blend of seminars, educational site visits, and interactive activities, creating a rich learning experience within an international cohort.

The training focuses on small- to mid-scale wood pellet and wood chip projects (for homes, smaller commercial/public buildings and district heating grids). Whether you represent a business, a public body, or an institution keen on advancing bioheat markets, this seminar holds particular relevance for participants from countries where the automatic bioenergy heating market is still in its nascent stages.
