Bioenergy Association of Ukraine

Workshop “Prospects of sustainable feedstock production for advanced biofuels in Ukraine” will be held on September 20-21, 2017 within the framework of the International Conference "Biomass for energy-2017”. This event holding in a frame of International project “FORBIO – Fostering sustainable feedstock production for advanced biofuels on under-utilized land in Europe” (More details: www.forbio-project.eu).

The goal of the seminar is to:

• Present the results of the assessment of the agronomic and techno-economic potentials, the assessment of sustainability of the selected advanced bioenergy value chains in the case study sites, as well as on policy barriers. The best practices for bioenergy policies regulations and support schemes will be also presented.
• Discuss with stakeholders and potential projects participants of economic and non-economic barriers to commercialization of both feedstock growing and their use for the production of next generation biofuels. Representatives of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) will lead the discussion with the audience.

GIZ project "Establishment of Energy Agencies in Ukraine" became a Silver Sponsor of the International Conference "BIOMASS FOR ENERGY 2017" that will be held in September 19-20, 2017 in Kiev.

The project “Establishment of Energy Agencies in Ukraine” was initiated by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) in the frame of the International Climate Initiative (IKI). It is being implemented by the company «Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH» since early 2014 and will continue until the end of 2017.

The goal of the project is through the establishment and consulting support of two regional energy agencies to explore potentials for energy savings, to increase energy efficiency at the regional and municipal level and to implement first projects. Consulting and networking activities at national level will facilitate appropriate framework conditions.
