RDI hosted the 4th BEn project consortium meeting in Hexham from 27th to 29th January 2010. Ten representatives from five organisations including: Poland, Austria, Germany and Italy visited our region to discuss the progress made within the Ben project.
During the three day meeting the prototype of the BEn GIS register was presented by the German leader (Fraunhofer UMSICHT). The status quo and ‘next steps’ for BEn actions were discussed in detail.
The guests also took the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the North East and the regional situation in regard to the bio-energy market. RDI organised site visits to three biomass systems operating in the area.
We are very grateful to Egger, The Battlesteads Hotel and North Energy Associates Ltd., for hosting the BEn group at their sites.
