Bioenergy in russia: Development potential and investment perspectives
Facilitation of the Russian economy resource base development, enhancement of energy supply
stability, reduction of raw materials losses and environment pollution level became one of the key directions
of the state industrial and energy policy of the Russian Federation in the resent years. Development
of renewable energy sources should make an important contribution to the fulfilment of these
objectives.
One of the most important perspectives of renewable energy development in Russia is the utilisation of local fuels,
particularly bioenergy. The potential of bioenergy is determined as well by the vast resource base as by the necessity to
solve waste treatment problems in a number of Russian Regions. Bioenergy should pay an important role in the ecological,
infrastructural and social development of the country.
The main goal of the seminar is to present the potential of bioenergy investment projects in the regions of Russia, including
the resource potential, legal environment and state support measures. The seminar will be an excellent platform
for business contact establishment between key players of the Russian bioenergy market, technology suppliers and
investors from all over the world.

MixBiopells: Enhancing the market relevance of alternative and mixed biomass pellets in Europe
The market integration of alternative and mixed biomass pellets is still hindered by various constraints. To overcome these
constraints and to strengthen the drivers the IEE founded European project MixBioPells was initiated to identify promising
market introduction concepts and to enhance the relevance of alternative and mixed biomass pellets in Europe. Further
information is available at the project website: www.mixbiopells.eu.
In the side event several aspects of the labelling and certification scheme which was developed in close cooperation with
the European Pellet Council (EPC) will be discussed. The major questions to be answered are:
• Could a labelling system for alternative and mixed biomass pellets and combustion systems lead to a similar
acceptance as for wood pellets?
• Is it possible to develop a labelling for alternative and mixed biomass pellets and combustion systems addressing
the current heterogenic market situation?
• What are the main requirements in order to realise the labelling system within different legal, technical
and economic frameworks in Europe?
Programme:
Possible approaches to increase the market relevance of alternative and mixed biomass pellets in Europe
Thomas Zeng, Deutsches Biomasseforschungszentrum, Germany
A draft for a European wide labelling system of alternative pellets and combustion systems
Anna Sager and Marie Rönnbäck, Technical Research Institute SP, Sweden
Podium discussion: Labelling of alternative and mixed biomass pellets and combustion systems
– The silver bullet to overcome market barriers?
Questions from the audience to the participants of the podium discussion
