Accelerating production of forest bioenergy in the Baltic Sea Region

The project aims to increase production of renewable energy in the BSR by improving the capacity of public authorities, forest and energy agencies, organizations of forest owners and entrepreneurs, and forest advisory organisations for promoting the harvest and use of logging residues and small trees cut in early thinning.

The prohject will produce

-GIS-platform and database for assessing forest biomass potentials in freely delineated geographical areas in BSR.

- Innovative business models and guidelines for developing small scale pellets and CHP plants in rural areas.

-Decision support tools for harvest of logging residues and small trees

-Handbooks and guidelines for harvest of logging residues and small trees.

-Demonstration sites for biomass recovery in pre-commercial thinning.

-cTraining programs on biomass harvest planning
