Ministers praise bio-energy

The Nordic Council of Ministers today agreed on a joint campaign to increase the use of bio-energy in the Nordic countries. An annual DKK 50,000 Nordic bio-energy prize will be awarded to individuals or organisations that distinguish themselves in the field.

At their meeting in Svolv
The initial goal is to collate relevant knowledge about “bio-energy in the Nordic Region” with the emphasis on the themes:
• Energy potential of the primary industries and energy sources
• Current volume of bio-energy production per source (woodchip, agricultural produce, waste, etc.)
• A description of various technological solutions (for bio-energy production and for generating heat)
• A description of bio-energy policy and measures in the Nordic countries.
