In a workshop with 20 to 25 participants, under expert guidance and transcending all disciplinary and experiential boundaries, a roadmap for the use of wood-based combined heat and power (CHP) in Germany—and specifically in Lausitz—will be developed. To ensure this succeeds, communication professionals will be on hand to assist the participants.

An excerpt from the coalition agreement of the new federal government:
“We will further develop and comprehensively modernize combined heat and power (CHP) so that it has a future within the framework of the energy transition. We will make combined heat and power generation less CO2-intensive and more flexible. We want to expand CHP plants and the district heating infrastructure and make them more efficient.”

So where is this complex technology headed now? Germany is a global leader in this field. However, the technology is still too expensive given the conditions in Germany. Everything has to be just right if biomass is to make an environmentally sustainable contribution to the carbon footprint.

Ideas are needed to bring not just a product, but an entire process chain to market.

Representatives from companies, the fields of engineering and environmental science, and other industries will be present, as well as current and potential future users.

Please register personally at biomass@hszg.de —because wood can do more!—and actively contribute to its positive development!
