The UK’s first conference on biomass has been hailed a success, paving the way for increased activity in the market.
More than 600 delegates attended Energy from Biomass and Waste UK (EBWUK) at the Royal Horticultural Hall, where some 60 exhibitors had gathered to present information on bioenergy production, according to environmentalexpert.com.
Among the many topics under discussion, was the expansion of Britain’s waste management resources. It is largely hoped the UK will develop its capacity for producing sustainable energy from waste materials, limiting the amount sent to landfill.
Attendees were able to learn about the processes involved in creating energy from biomass.
Biomass components can be broken up using large vibratory separation equipment and industrial sieves, equipment which may be in demand as the UK’s bioenergy potential grows.
The event, organised by German firm Freesen & Partner GmbH, also provided key opportunities for UK firms to network with overseas businesses.
Managing director Dr.Ines Freesen told the website: “The UK is a key market for many international vendors. At the same time there is a growing interest in information about new technologies and experiences from other markets on the British side.”
