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

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.
