Chairman's message
We cordially invite all the interested representatives of Biomass Community to participate in the 7th International Conference on Biomass for Energy which will take place on September 20-21, 2011 in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Among renewable energy sources biomass is one of the most promising energy sources in Ukraine. The economic potential of biomass in Ukraine is estimated at 30 mtce/yr (straw and other agricultural residues, wood residues, biogas and energy crops). Utilization of this potential through the introduction of bioenergy equipment and technologies may lead to annual replacement of 6 bill m3 of natural gas until 2015. Besides, it may result in reduction of about 13 million t CO2-eq per year and creation of about 20 th. new jobs.
We believe that year 2011 will be crucial for the bioenergy development in Ukraine taking into account two main reasons:
- Continuing rise in natural gas price in Ukraine (by 50% in August 2010 and another 50% in April 2011).
- Operation of two important laws aimed to support the biomass sector (the law on "green" tariff and the law on biofuels).
The Conferences held in 2002-2010 generated great interest in Ukraine and abroad. About 200 participants took part in each forum including 50 attendees from Europe and the USA.
We believe that the 7th Conference will bring together even more participants and facilitate practical realization of biomass-to-energy projects in Ukraine.

-
Plenary lectures
-
Oral and poster presentations
-
Round tables and seminars
Topics
1. Biomass resources: availability andcost of resources; technical and logistical issues; environmental impact. Production,
pretreatment, supply and logistics of feedstock from conventional agriculture, forestry, animal residues, processing industry
and the biodegradable fraction of MSW streams. Research on energy crops.
2. Research and development of bioenergy technologies: combustion, gasification, pyrolysis, anaerobic digestion,
extraction and utilisation of landfill gas, co-combustion of biomass with traditional fuels. Production of liquid biofuels
(biodiesel, bioethanol).
3. Demonstration and market implementation of biomass-to-energy technologies.
4. Strategy and policy issues: international, national, regional and local policies and strategies. Sustainability criteria and
certification issues.
5. Economic and environmental issues of bioenergy technologies: financing of bioenergy projects, socio-economic impact,
reduction of CO2 emission.
Purpose of the conference
To encourage the use of biomass for energy production and promote sustainable development of bioenergy technologies in Ukraine.
Working languages
English, Ukrainian, Russian.
Simultaneous translation will be provided.
