N2 - The main activities of the project were analysis of the
current bioenergy sector and policy at the starting phase
of the project: support to regional bioenergy initiatives
by preparing regional bioenergy Action Plans and their
follow-ups: initiating bioenergy pilot projects by
producing feasibility studies for the pilot cases: and
strong training input by organising local-level and
international training events for entrepreneurs as well
as publishing the sector-specific guidebook in English,
Polish, Romanian and Slovak languages. In terms of
results, the project produced 17 feasibility studies, 12
letters of commitment and involved 27 companies in the
project development processes. The project experience
will be replicated in the other regions inside the target
countries. About 400 people participated in the different
project events and three contracts for biomass supply and
two contracts in woody biomass investments were signed
during the project lifetime. RES, based on heat and power
production, generated a capacity of 31 megawatts (MW),
with 72,000 tonnes of wood chips and sawdust mobilised
and 20 new jobs created. New investments amounted to 6
million in the target countries. The new renewable energy
production was equivalent to 16,000 tonnes of oil per
year (toe/year) and 19,000 toe/year primary energy
savings were generated. Annually, 45,000 tonnes of CO2
GHG emissions were reduced. The major challenges in the
target countries for the positive development of the use
of woody biomass RES in energy production are forest
ownership arrangements, entrepreneurship,
country-specific support schemes for the sector and the
other institutional framework developments.
