S2Biom workshop in Spain: Analysis of opportunities for the Agro-Biomass in Aragon region
Zaragoza, Spain
30 November 2016
On 30th November, 2016 S2Biom project partner CIRCE organized a workshop where S2Biom project results and review related to the on-going initiatives and funding opportunities have been presented.
The workshop was intended to promote synergies between the actors in agri-biomass sector: farmers, final consumers of agro-biomass or energy, including the agricultural industry, biomass distributors, engineering companies or pellets producers. The event has been addressed to all professionals in the agricultural biomass sector and aimed to share on-going initiatives for the promotion and use of agro-biomass in the Aragon region. More than 60 people attended the workshop.
