READING MATERIALS OF BLOCK 3 “EFFICIENT VALUE CHAINS IN BIOENERGY, AND BIOMASS LOGISTICS” | EBRD/GEF PROJECT

15/12/2023

The reading materials of Block 3 “Creation and functioning of efficient value chains in bioenergy, in particular the issue of biomass logistics” of advanced training courses for professionals in the bioenergy sector are already available. Lectures were held in online format during December 4-8, 2023.

Block 3 “Creation and functioning of efficient value chains in bioenergy, in particular the issue of biomass logistics” contains lectures (webinars) that operators/technical staff of bioenergy plants and management/administrative staff will find useful. You can watch videos and presentations from all five days.

We thank all the participants for the positive reviews, important comments and interesting discussions! See you at the next events!
