Franco-spanish conference on bioenergy at CENER

1 October 2009

More than 70 people will attend the Franco-Spanish conference organised by CENER and APESA on 1 and 2 October, where the latest advances on bioenergy will be discussed, including practical questions on the production, logistics and use of Biomass.

This conference forms part of the activities scheduled within the REMAR (Energy and Environment Network) project. Co-funded by the European Union Interreg programme, its mission is to create a cross-border network to facilitate the development of actions carried out within the regions of Aquitaine, the Basque Country, La Rioja and Navarra, in the fields of energy and the environment, by:

• Exchanging experiences of best practices.
• Promoting the development and implementation of innovative technologies.
• Favouring business competitiveness by promoting R&D&I activities among the different agents.
• Establishing the technological and structural bases to conduct joint projects involving different enterprises or institutions from the participant regions.

Technology centres with extensive experience in the different topics of the project as well as in cross-border cooperation projects (APESA, LEIA, CENER, ESTIA, L´UREDERRA and GAIKER) as well as business associations that represent enterprises that offer environmental services or technologies and/or enterprises that use these services and technologies (AIN, FER and ACLIMA), are partners of this project.

In Navarra, the project has the financial support of the Department of Innovation, Enterprise and Employment of the Government of Navarra.
