How can decentralized energy supply with biomass succeed?

Under the patronage of Saxony’s Minister of State for the Environment and Agriculture, Mr. Thomas Schmidt, the 7th Symposium on the Use of Biomass for Energy will take place at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences on June 6 and 7, 2018, in Building Z IV.

The event is free of charge for students and staff of our university. However, registration is requested by May 28.

The “Biomass to Power and Heat” conference focuses on the practical implementation and scientific support of decentralized energy supply approaches using biomass and offers experts from industry and academia a wide range of opportunities to exchange experiences, as well as a platform to present their findings and scientific work.

The main topics of this year’s conference include:

• the cultivation, harvesting, and processing of energy biomass, as well as political processes with a focus on regional developments,
• technical system solutions for the decentralized provision of usable energy from biomass, and
• the growing field of waste management and biochar issues.

The technical presentations will be accompanied by a diverse program. In addition to the familiar company and poster presentations in the foyer, this year’s event will also feature two workshops, a business matchmaking session with “speed dating,” and laboratory tours.

Detailed information on these—as well as on the technical presentations—can be found in the program flyer on the conference website.

This year’s official partners of the conference are the German Biomass Research Center (DBFZ), the “Energy Use of Biomass” funding program, the Dresden Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK Dresden), the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN), the CLEANTECH Initiative East Germany (CIO), and the Saxony5 Technology Transfer Network.

We look forward to receiving your registrations!
