SUMMARY:5th Biomass PowerON
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted and excited to announce 5th European Biomass PowerON 2023 conference with newly researched agenda\, trending industry news\, excellent speakers & technical insights. The conference will take place on 11-12 October 2023 in Stockholm. \nIn the face of an energy crisis and rising interest in cleaner energy sources Europe is turning to possibilites that biomass and pellets offer. Change of the heat and power feedstock is crucial from the point view of European energy security\, as well as climate change mitigation. This year\, among other topics we are focusing on usage of biomass and pellets for heat and power generation\, role of bioenergy in decarbonisation as well as on perspective of forest industry on the higher demand for wood biomass and pellets. Also\, as many discussions are on within EU in terms of policies and regulations for green solutions and biomass’ place among them\, we will be discussing the influence of legislation on the bioenergy sector. \nThis event is set to bring industry stakeholders\, unique content\, workshops discussions and networking. Join us for latest market news\, excellent keynote speakers and technical insights.

SUMMARY:Norfolk Farm Walk
DESCRIPTION:Norfolk Miscanthus farm walk  \n Date and time: 7th Sept\, 9:30 – 11:30 am \nGrower: Algy Garrod \nFormat: This free-to-attend farm walk will include some complimentary light refreshments\, a short\, informal presentation from Terravesta\, a chance to ask questions and a tour of the Miscanthus crop. \nJoin Terravesta to see how Miscanthus grower\, Algy Garrod\, is squaring off poorly performing fields with Miscanthus\, typically on the edges of fields. This has straightened them out\, taking out bits near hedges or bendy field margins and edges\, and has made them easier to manage. \n
