BISYPLAN – The Bioenergy System Planners Handbook

The BISYPLAN project aims to produce a handbook which can be used as a reference and resource by those seeking to develop bioenergy projects in their regions.  It will focus on biomass for energy and addresses the main proven conversion technologies and resources.

The project addresses misunderstandings and lack of buyer competence still present in some states and regions where the change in energy production systems has not commenced. This will be achieved by combining and bringing together the experience and the competence of academia with the widespread local/regional expertise and experience of regional energy agencies.

The overall aim is to produce a handbook for those responsible for planning and decision making about regional and/or local energy infrastructure. The handbook will be made available on-line and will be available in English, Italian, Estonian and Greek. It is expected that the existence of such a handbook will increase the quality of biomass system commissioning and procurement so that more planned projects get carried out.

The handbook will include fundamental aspects as well as application examples from the different regions represented by the project partners.

The project team have started content development and this should be completed by early 2012 with a plan to release the final handbook in mid 2012.
