Continuing Professional Development in Biomass

Rural Development Initiatives (RDI), the UK’s market leading provider of project management and information services to the biomass sector, are pleased to announce the introduction of three new CPD seminars aimed at users and specifiers of biomass for heat only and combined heat and power (CHP) applications.

These seminars will provide up to date information on the rapidly expanding biomass sector and how it can provide cost effective solutions to the needs of both the public and private organisations. The seminars will be suitable for Architects, Consulting Engineers, Energy and Facility Managers and a broad range of other professions.

The seminars will be run as both ‘Public’ courses, which are open to everybody who has a professional interest in biomass systems, and ‘In-House’ courses which can be provided for organisations wanting a course just for their staff.

Seminars will be run across the UK with dates and venues to be announced soon. Please continue to visit this page to find out further details, or for more information and to enquire about in-house courses please contact RDI on ignite@ruraldevelopment.org.uk.

The three CPD seminars will focus on the following topics: -

1.       Biomass district heating

2.       Biomass systems and the planning & regulatory framework

3.       Biomass system project financing

All seminars will be led by RDI staff and associates who are highly experienced in biomass systems and accredited instructors. Utilising the latest industry knowledge and experience gained through advising hundreds of clients and trainees, yet free of any ties to commercial biomass fuel providers or system installers, RDI are able to provide an impartial and independent view of the sector.

RDI pioneered the award winning Ignite training course, the UK’s only woodfuel supply chain accredited training course and project manages a number of high profile biomass market acceleration projects on behalf of clients such as One North East and Yorkshire Forward. RDI also hosted Ignition09, the UK’s first and only dedicated woodfuel expo.
