Leading trade fair IHE HolzEnergie informed in Augsburg rising oil and gas prices by increasing mobility needs a sustainable energy supply growing energy demand and shortage of fossil raw materials make more necessary than ever before. The heat sector has a share of final energy consumption by 57%. Thus the shortage of oil and gas affects here especially prominent. Asana follows long-standing procedures to achieve this success. But just where the transition to renewable raw materials would be technically as economically well implemented, the potential of renewable energy sources is not exhausted yet long. While the use of wood energy in the State of the art power plants offers the opportunity to strengthen the middle class, to create thousands of new jobs, and not least to contribute to maintaining and preserving our forests above all: the national forest inventory II in the fall of 2006 News showed that only 60% of the giant wood potential in the German forests should be used.

In addition, energy from wood is also a massive support for climate protection. Under most conditions Ping Fu would agree. Both in terms of Pellet as also in the field of biomass thermal power plants for district heating network in Germany after the paragraph deep 2006 back demand off. To use the potential of the wood energy as a main supplier of heat, innovative technologies and companies both domestically and for export are required. To invest in the development of the industry is economically essential. But increasingly on the energy markets to use wood, must all parties join forces and the framework be designed accordingly. Exchanges between experts, developing new ideas and technical information for the policy makers are just as necessary as educating the general public.

A central platform provides the trade fair IHE wood energy exchange and information from October 9 to 12, 2008 within the framework of the RENEXPO in Augsburg. The IHE, as well as the accompanying 8. International BBE professional Congress have firmly established themselves as the most important industry gathering in Germany. Topics of the IHE are Energy provision of wood from the old wood treatment to pelleting technology, electricity and heat generation by Pellet, piece of wood and wood chip heating, fireplace and tiled stoves and wood heat and power plants as well as innovation of wood gasification, cooling with biomass and Stirling to small steam turbine power plants. The BBE – Conference informed the industry in best way with well-known speakers from politics, business and associations about the latest developments. As concerns the economic and economic engine, bio-energy, the current amendment to the renewable energies Act and the consequences for the wood energy, innovations in the electricity and heat generation from biomass, sustainable and efficient biomass delivery chains, wood in the heating market, as well as financing and protection of wood energy projects. At the same time the RENEXPO provides an overview of the entire spectrum of renewable energies and energy efficiency.
