in Finland
Conference and workshops
A key part of the Finland visit was two dissemination events, which
took the form of a conference and workshop on bioenergy
development socio economic benefits of bioenergy use in the
North Karelia, and an event focussing on the BioPAD project and
the ongoing Supply Chain analysis.
To start the dissemination event a workshop was held to inform
participants (many of whom were from Finland) about the BioPAD
project and the ongoing Supply Chain analysis. The BISCUIT
(BioPAD Supply Chain Unique Integrated Tool) was demonstrated.
The next day we started with a workshop on bioenergy
development in North Karelia and the socio economic benefits of
bioenergy use in this rural region. There was lively discussion of
the issues faced by partner countries in seeking to emulate the
bioenergy development which has taken place in Finland.
Presentations from the events are available to access here:

The BioPAD visit to Finland enabled participants to see practical
examples of bioenergy in action, have the opportunity to learn
about bioenergy policy in a successful bioenergy region, and
engage in discussions with other stakeholders in the bioenergy
network.
