Industry Event Bioener gy 2010 is a week long chance to see a functioning biomass economy in ac- tion, from slash harvesting and biomass crops right through to district heating and transport biofuels. From May 24 to 28, in southern Sweden, World Bioener- gy will include pre- and post-conference tours, the main conference, daily excur- sions to active bioenergy sites, the exhi- bition with 200+ booths, matchmaking opportunities, and several side events to drive your business. TOURS The conference and exhibition are held in the scenic town of Jönköping, but visitors can make their way to the world- renowned Elmia conference site via a number of full-day pre-conference tours leaving airports in Stockholm and Co- penhagen. Tours will visit combined heat and power (CHP) plants, short-rotation coppice production, pellet plants, etha- nol plants, mid-sized heat plants, large power plants, harvesting and forest resid- ual sites, biogas plants, biodiesel plants, small-scale briquette plants, greenhous- es, gasification, and more. Tours leave in the morning, allowing for international visitors to join the tours directly from their flights, while return tours will ar- rive back at these two airports in time for late afternoon flights home. Attendees are also offered daily site visits as part of the conference program. CONFERENCE The conference at World Bioenergy 2010 is divided into seven main themes, allow- ing delegates to focus on their main areas of interest or to choose a variety of topics for a well-rounded bioenergy education. These include: • CHP, combustion, heating, and co- firing: A range of technologies and installations will be discussed, from boilers and burners to fuel handling, logistics, flue gas cleaning, and other support systems. Includes a CHP plant tour. • Forest residues, slash, stumps, small tree harvest: This is a repeat of the popular slash conference from El- mia Wood 2009, focusing on how to recover biomass from felling and thinning operations, environmental effects, and ash recycling. Daily ex- cursions to harvest sites. • Policy: Delegates will learn how to stimulate increased use of bioenergy. Wood Pelleting Plants Capacity: 300 - 8,000 kg per press • Biofuels for transport: Ethanol, biodiesel, and biogas can offer sus- tainable solutions. The conference looks at first- and second-generation fuels, plus the economics involved. Pre- and post-conference tours plus daily biogas plant visits. • Pellets: This large and growing en- ergy commodity is looked at from markets and production technology to project and investment trends. In- cludes pellet factory tours. • Energy crops: Both agricultural resi- dues and byproducts are examined. • Waste to energy: Waste is a resource in every society that can be used for heat and power, as well as biogas. Daily and pre- and post-conference tours offered. The Australian company Plantation Energy is on its way to becoming world market leader. With plants of KAHL. AMANDUS KAHL GmbH & Co.
