Its aim was to approach the role and contribution of Bioenergy as an active sector of the Bioeconomy in dealing with the Energy Crisis in a constantly changing international environment.
The conference considered to what extent it would be possible, within the challenging economic environment formed since the war in Ukraine, for Greece and the EU to better utilize biomass in order to lighten the heavy financial burden of energy for industries, businesses, services and households.
