European Working Group "Biomass Ash" established
Due to the increasing use of biomass for power and heat production the European Technical Committee has established a European Working Group "Biomass Ash" (EWG BMA) to deal with the options of ash utilisation options based on technical and environmental regulations.
In some European countries a number of smaller units are being operated with pure biomass combustion. Due to the legal support systems the number of bigger plants with biomass combustion is increasing, also elder coal-fired power plants are being switched to 100 percent biomass fuel.
A group of interested parties started the work on a status report regarding biomass fuels and legal background for production and use in the European members states. This work will be continued in the EWG BMA.
