World Biomass Power Markets
In May 2013 YGE attended the World Biomass Power Markets, in Amsterdam.
This participation allowed the promotion of technological developments in the torrefacion process and the manufacturing process to produce torrified biomass for energy. Also enabled the networking possibilities with players.
YGE was invited to make a presentation, which we made available here.
