Seminar “Raising awarene of partner cities in the field of natural gas replacement by biomass”
“NGO “Renewable Energy Agency” (REA) on March 30, 2015 in Kiev held a seminar on “Raising awareness of partner-cities representatives in the field of natural gas replacement by biomass” within the framework of the project “Promoting the substitution of natural gas in the production of biomass thermal energy”. In the course of the seminar on March 31 a technical tour to objects of successful projects of thermal energy production from biomass was organized.”
The purpose of the workshop was to introduce, train and raise awareness of representatives of the partner cities of the USAID-MER project on the possible benefits from the replacement of natural gas by biomass, to analyze mechanisms to attract investment, to discuss the potential of bioenergy projects in the partner cities.
The seminar was attended by representatives of municipalities and heat generating companies of the following cities partners in the project USAID-MER: Vinnitsa, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Kamenetz-Podolskyi, Kyiv, Kramatorsk, Krivoy Rog, Lutsk, Lvov, Pavlograd, Rivne, Ternopil, Kherson, Khmelnitsky, Chernigov as well as Kharkiv city and Dolina town.
March 31, 2015, a technical tour on bioenergy facilities took place in Kiev and the Kiev region. The technical tour participants visited the pellet boiler of Irpen secondary school №13 in Gostomel village with total capacity of 1.3 MW and a pellet boiler of Irpen city hospital in the town of Bucha with total capacity of 750 kW that beong to “Ukrteplo” company.
