BLOCK 2: Promoting sustainable timber production in the face of climate change.
BLOCK 3: Decision support and value-added systems in the forestry and timber sector.
Professional guarantors of the conference: Dr. Ing. Tomáš Bucha, Ing. Štefan Boháček, PhD.
Organizing Committee: RNDr. Slávka Tóthová, PhD., Ing. Tomáš Gergeľ, PhD., Ing. Vojtěch Ondrejka, PhD.
Workshop on energy utilization of biomass and implementation of fuel chip dryer within the research solution activity 1.5 of the CE LignoSilva project.
• The focus of the LignoSilva Center of Excellence project and the BIOEAST initiative, focusing on the energy use of wood, were presented at the working meeting. From the presentations of the participants of the working meeting, knowledge was gained about the direction of research and development in the use of wood biomass for energy purposes.
• The main benefit lies in the exchange of knowledge in building a research and development center focusing on the energy use of biomass and in obtaining information on the direction of research and innovation in this area.
