Activities

Seminar "Waste Biomass to Energy. Technologies for waste utilization and conversion" was held on the 16th of March 2010 in the seat of Institute of Fluid Flow Machinery Polish Academy of Sciences, in Gdańsk, Poland.

On the 16th of March 2010, the Baltic Eco-Energy Cluster (BEEC), chaired by Institute of Fluid Flow Machinery Polish Academy of Sciences (IMP-BKEE - a partner in the Bioenergy Promotion project), organized a local seminar focused on alternative means of utilization and management of biodegradable solid waste.
The topic is currently of special interest, and thus attracted many participants, not only due to the aspect of bioenergy potential but also due to the EU law that obliges local self-governments to decrease significantly the amount of solid wastes that are landfilled.
Ca. 70 persons participated in this event, which was organized by the Regional Contact Point on Bioenergy, which unit was launched within the Bioenergy Promotion project. Seminar was targeted at decision-makers responsible for waste management (including biodegradable waste) in local self-governments (GMINAS) of the Pomorskie Region as well as companies that provide services in the field of solid waste management. Seminar also attracted representatives of academia as well as regional business entities.
Last but not least, we have a pleasure to inform that this seminar was organized under the honorary patronage of the Marshal of Pomorskie Voivodeship, Mr Mieczysław Struk.
