Međunarodna energetska konferencija o biomasi i obnovljivim izvorima energije

Budućnost bioenergije u odnosu na fosilna goriva

Thematic session of Croatian government on biomass

In the beginning of February, in the organization of Exportdrvo, there was a lecture about cogeneration in the timber industry. In the end of 2010 Exportdrvo became the representative for the Italian company Turboden which is one of the most famous manufacturers of turbines for biomass processesing. On this occasion, president of the Association of wood processing industry at the Croatian Chamber of Economy Zdravko Jelcic, announced the upcoming thematic session in Croatian government about biomass, which will include issues of forest and wood biomass exploitation. The main purpose of the meeting is to present the Prime Minister and her coworkers all potentials and advantages of the wood industry in energy production from forest biomass as well as to encourage certain legislative changes and arrange the current “mess” on the market meaning the contracts for the biomass supply. President Jelcic pointed out that one of the criteria for the decision regarding contracts should be the level of the facility, instead of promises and plans which are currently applicable criteria.
