Abstract
By the year 2010, 12% of the gross inland energy consumption of the European Union is to be covered by renewable sources of energy. To meet this goal, intensified use needs to be made of biomass, both for heating purposes and for power generation. Timber and forestry residues are available in ample quantities, but the required investment costs are a barrier to the broad-based use of this energy source. The sawdust project developed in the village of Tasca demonstrates that a modern combustion technology can provide a viable solution to two problems: an environmental problem caused by uncontrolled sawdust dumping and an energy-related problem concerning heat supply to the local population.
