SUMMARY:6th Int. Conference on BIOMASS FOR ENERGY
DESCRIPTION:We are very glad to invite all the representatives of Biom
 ass Community to the 6th International Conference on Biomass for Energ
 y.\n\nConferences held in 2002-2009 generated great interest in Ukrain
 e and abroad. About 200 participants including 50 attendees from Europ
 e and the USA took part in each forum.\n\nDuring 2005-2010 price of na
 tural gas in Ukraine has been rising drastically (from 61 to 305 $/100
 0 m3). As a result\, some sectors of the national economy appeared on 
 the verge of viability. Such situation clearly demonstrates urgent nec
 essity of using alternative and renewable energy sources. \n\nAmong th
 e renewable energy sources\, biomass can play the leading part in repl
 acement of natural gas and other fossil fuels. Ukraine has quite a big
  potential of biomass available for energy production (19-23 mtoe/yr).
  Utilization of the biomass potential for energy purposes can cover ab
 out 14% of the Ukraine's energy demand. \n\nAt present Ukraine’s sta
 te policy regarding the bioenergy sector development is expressed in t
 wo laws which were adopted in 2009\: regarding the "green" tariff and 
 the biofuels. Specifically\, the minimal fixed “green” tariff for 
 biomass power plants is 12.4 € cents/kWh\, and this value is one of 
 the highest in Europe.\n\nWe are sure that the 6th Conference will fac
 ilitate practical realization of biomass-to-energy technologies in Ukr
 aine and promote a fruitful cooperation between Ukrainian and foreign 
 scientists\, experts and businessmen in this field.
