PULPAPER IS ORGANISED DURING THE SAME WEEK AS the leading Nordic chemistry and biotechnology event ChemBio Finland and the international chemistry conference Helsinki Chemicals Forum.


Organized by:


‘Energy Transition & the Use of Biomass’ which was created as a part of the LE 14-20 project ‘BIOKONAT – Biomass in the context of a nature-compatible energy transition: role, opportunities and options.’ The project was sponsored by the Federal Ministry for Agriculture, Regions and Tourism and the European Union, led by the Umweltdachverband (an environmental umbrella organisation) and accomplished together with its cooperation partners Environment Management Austria (UMA), Austrian Biomass Association (ABA) and Forum Science & Environment (FWU). The publication presents common solutions for a nature-compatible use of the Austrian forest biomass potential.


Forest biomass is of outstanding


importance among the renewable energy sources in Austria due to its quantitative use and the existing expansion potential. Therefore, the joint project of the ABA and the environmental associations focused on the role of the forest as a resource for its material and energetic use, including its functions for climate protection and nature conservation. The best practice examples from the forestry operation Altenburg Abbey and the Rastenfeld wood power plant located in the Waldviertel effectively demonstrate, how an exemplary interaction between forest management and nature conservation can contribute to the success of the energy transition.

digitally and can be downloaded from the following link: https://www.biomasseverband.
