ENERWOODS International Conference: Wood based energy systems from Nordic and Baltic Forests - how to increase forest productivity and adaptation in tandem with more efficient use of the wood18.08.2015 13.33 The Nordic countries have ambitious goals to almost eliminate the fossil fuel from their energy supply and to show global leadership in the transition towards sustainable and renewable energy systems.
The prime objective of the ENERWOODS project is to provide scientifically based knowledge about the role of Nordic forestry in the development of Nordic renewable energy systems. ENERWOODS is funded by Nordic Energy Research under the Nordic Council of Ministers. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Nordic way? – and what can we learn from forestry elsewhere and the global forest landscape restoration efforts to support and increase forest adaptation and mitigation? The conference includes two sessions: Morning Session – ENERWOODS results Selected results will be presented and we welcome discussions of the implications and perspectives for forests, forestry and the energy and resource supply systems in a renewable Nordic energy system. Afternoon Session I - ENERWOODS in practise and perspectives for the future and the global outlook Invited speakers provide overview and inspiration for next generation Nordic – Baltic forestry and for future and better uses of wood and woody biomass.
