National policies and legislation related to biomassutilization as RES Law on renewable energy sources (adopted 2011, amended 2015) encourages thedevelopment of new technologies with high extend of environmental protection whenproducing energy from biomass (from forests including); Governmental Management Program for the period 2017-2021vAim 166: Increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of management regarding publicforests and development of national green economy and modern forest industryv Measure 65: Diversification of the incomes from forests based on production of bio products,production of energy from forest biomass, .; National action plan for energy efficiency 2014-2020 – supports projects for energy efficienthouse holdings and public buildings by replacing low effective heating systems with state ofart installations on biomass;

National policies and legislation related to biomassutilization as RES National long-term program for encouraging the use of biomass for the period 2008-2020 –the aim is sustainable and independent energy development by mobilizing energyrecourses from renewable and alternative sources, timber biomass being the biggest sourceof bioenergy for the country; Integrated plan in the field of energy and climate of Republic of Bulgaria 2021-2030v 66% of the population uses biomass for heatingv The plan foresees introduction of individual devices for burning of biomass with at least 85%effectiveness for house holds and at least 70% effectiveness for industrial buildings National Action plan for energy development from forest wood biomass 2018-2027v contains strategic framework with 6 priority areas and concrete actions for increasing theefficiency in utilization of forest biomass as RES

Potential of timber biomass for energy from forestterritoryForest data – 31.12.2019:Ø4 149 351 ha forest territories (about 37 % of thecountry’s territory); 3 789 195 ha forested area(about 34% of the country’s territory) ;ØOver 680 500 000 m3 total volume;Ø14 million m3 annual increment;Ø8 007 915 m3 annual harvesting (standingtimber)Ø4 095 423 m3 firewood

Existing problems in using forest biomass for energypurposes More that 1 000 000 house holds use forest biomass for heating (90% inthe rural areas)v Harvesting from public forests is planned with priority to meet the requirements ofthe local communities for firewoodv Almost all house holds burn wood for heating in old, low effective ovens – openburning with less than 40% effectivenessv Weak interest in investment of modern heating installations on wood biomass,even in close to forests communitiesv No experience in long- term contracts on wood and timber market to secureresource for heat energy production and support investments in industrialinstallations

Actions to increase the effectiveness in forestbiomass exploitation Forestry measuresv Investment in machinery for environmental friendly collecting of residual wood fromfelling/cutting sites (Forest state and municipal companies)v Establishment of 8 experimental logistic centers – helps to close the product chain fromharvesting to using residual wood as pellets and briquettes at local level Improvement of forest infrastructure for quick extraction of damaged wood from pests,diseases and natural disasters to be used for energy production Administrative measuresv Adoption of Ordinance on requirements for use of forest biomass for household heating – 2019v Free of charge delivery of highly effective ovens for household heating by the municipalitiesto poor families – starts from the beginning of 2020

Contribution of Bio4Eco project on effectiveuse of forest biomass in Bulgaria Gaining international experience in the field ofpolicies and methods for more effective use ofbiomass from forests for energy purposes Development and adoption of the NationalAction Plan for energy development from forestwood biomass 2018-2027 Participation of stakeholders in internationalseminars and field demonstrations organized byproject partners Organization of several seminars at national levelmeeting practitioners and policy-makers to discussbest practices and search for suitableapproaches for more effective use of forestbiomass.

Contribution of Bio4Eco project on effectiveuse of forest biomass in Bulgaria Operational Programme "Innovation and Competitiveness" 2014-2020v Several meetings with the Management authority of OPIC for Bulgaria to present theproblems with forest biomass exploitation and discuss the priorities and measuresproposed in the National Action Plan for energy development from forest wood biomass2018-2027 and their reflection in the next program periodv 1 meeting with the national coordinator of OPIC to help and make easier the assess forSME, with low administrative capacity for projects preparation, to information andrequirements for participation with project proposals on effective use of natural resources,incl. forest biomass, in the next program period of OPICv Participation of Executive Forest Agency in interinstitutional working group developingelements of the circular bio economy in the Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialization,which will be the basis for defining priority areas in the next OPIC in Bulgaria.v The team of Bio4Eco developed and submitted Fiche with proposal on possibleinvestments in projects for more effective and circular use of forest biomass under thePriority related to effective use of natural resources in the next OPIC.

harvest of biomass energy because the forest industry currently operates at very low levels. NWT Biomass Potential Biomass and Climate Change Biomass is essentially solar energy stored in the mass of trees and plants. When a tree is harvested and burned as biomass energy, it is considered carbon neutral as long as another tree grows in its place.

"biomass" and phrase "woody biomass" interchangeably. The reader should realize woody biomass is being discussed specifically in both instances. Woody Biomass Utilization (WBU) is defined as the harvest, sale, offer, trade, and/or use of woody biomass. This utilization results in the production of a full

biomass efficiency (Rosillo-Calle, 2007). The potential for biomass energy is available but the means of concentrating and collecting the energy have to be developed. The future holds two main resources for biomass, waste biomass and biomass produced as an energy carrier. New forest management practices can be a means by which to harvest biomass

1. Commit to using biomass energy in government infrastructure. 2. Develop regulations, policies and programs for biomass energy industry, as required. 3. Manage biomass facility emissions to protect public/environmental health and safety. 4. Facilitate private sector development in biomass energy . 5. Manage and regulate Yukon forests .

Biomass boilers are typically 20 - 50 MW range. The energy in biomass is converted to electricity with a efficiency of about 35% - a typical value of a modern coal-fired power plant. Biomass gasifiers:Operate by heating biomass in an environment where the solid biomass breaks down to form a flammable low calorific gas. The biogas is then
