Reducing Dependence on Russian Natural Gas - with Bioenergy
Brussels -- The Russian annexation of Crimea exposed new inherent economic and political risks in natural gas supply from Russia to the EU. To address this issue, the WBA is holding a workshop in Brussels to discuss ways to reduce exposure to Russian gas imports using bioenergy.
This workshop will NOT deal with 'theoretical biomass potentials', but achievable contributions to 2020-30. Topics include; how much gas is imported and what it is used for, What initiatives are taking place now to reduce fossil gas usage, the capability and infrastructure to feed large volumes of biogas into the gas grid, and replacement of natural gas with renewable bio-oil in power stations. We will look at biomass development in the EU, and a number of exciting supply chain initiatives now taking place worldwide to enable a quantum increase in imports of biomass from Canada, US, Brazil, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia and other regions. The workshop will also illustrate an initiative underway to develop a €200 million Bio-trade Fund that will invest in biomass densification facilities worldwide AND associated supply chains, to maximizing new biomass imports to the EU. This workshop will be of extreme interest to EU policy makers, biomass traders, biomass providers, biomass users, renewable energy planners, investors, EU financing program managers, other policy makers. We encourage registrants also to register for the entire 1½-day Aebiom conference May 12-13.
