    The International Forest Bioenergy Conference and FinnMETKO Exhibition will take place in Tampere on beginning of September. The Conference will focus on the factors affecting the future of the bioenergy. At the moment an important role is to create forest energy markets and mobilization. We like to learn more about examples how to create markets and to overcome barriers on national and international markets. Some countries, as e.g. Russia, and areas, as e.g. North America and South America, have huge forest resources and will play an important role in international business. Other important thing is forest energy resources in national strategies. Modern technologies for forest fuel production, handling transport and logistics will be presented and shown during technical tour to FinnMetko exhibition. Combustion, boiler technologies and Combined Heat and Power Production (CHP) -power plants for forest fuels are of importance in practical use. The conference will also focus on conversion technologies, especially production of transport fuels and pyrolysis. Wood pellets are important in changing heating systems from fossil fuels to renewables. Wood pellets can also be used in coal power plants. Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Sirkka-Liisa Anttila will open the Forestry Bioenergy 2010 conference and Minister of Economic Affairs Mauri Pekkarinen will give his view on the future of bioenergy at the closing session of Forestry Bioenergy 2010.

    Dear Colleague,

    In many countries waste management is experiencing a fast transition from landfilling to sophisticated recycling and waste to energy plants. Thus, the question arises: Is there still a need for landfilling in the future, and if yes, how should landfills be designed and operated in order to become sustainable?

    In order to discuss current research related to the question above, Helsinki University of Technology - Lahti Center and Vienna University of Technology are jointly organizing an international conference in Vienna on September 23-25, 2010 on sustainable landfilling.

    Please see the details in the First announcement and Call for Abstracts (http://www.iwa.tuwien.ac.at/landfill-conference/announcement.pdf). The deadline for abstract submission is November 30, 2009.

    We would enjoy welcoming you in Vienna and are looking forward to receive your abstracts.

    Best regards

    3D. Industrial ecology, symbiosis, eco-industrial parks and resource recovery.

    Industrial symbiosis draws its conceptual foundation from the ecological metaphor of biological symbiosis. Companies engaged in industrial symbiosis can be co-located in an eco-industrial park or distributed across a city or region. Industrial symbiosis offers potential environmental and economic efficiencies that have attracted policy and business interest across the world, both in terms of industrial transformation and of regional sustainability. In this area, resource recovery is also relevant and includes urban and landfill mining. This track invites state-of-the-art conceptual and methodological studies, as well as case studies. '

    Hydrogen Transports!
    Clean Public Transport Buses are Here and Now!


    From hot and dry in Madrid to cold and humid in Reykjavik, from flat in Hamburg to hilly in Luxembourg, and from congested in Berlin to full speed in Perth (Western Australia). The HyFLEET:CUTE buses have shown that clean public transport powered by hydrogen works.

    From 2006 to 2009 there have been 47 buses operated under an extremely wide range of climatic and topographical conditions. In total 2.5 million kilometers have been travelled and more than 8.5 million passengers transported safely.

    Within the HyFLEET:CUTE project, a Fuel Cell bus fleet of 33 Mercedes-Benz Citaro buses was operated in public transport in 10 cities on three continents. There were no major breakdowns or problems caused by either the fuel cell technology and their components, or of the buses themselves.

    MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG (MAN) developed 14 buses based around the standard low floor MAN Lion’s City Bus model powered by two different hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) technologies for operation in regular public transport service in Berlin. The naturally aspirated engines in particular have proved their operational readiness.

    At the HyFLEET:CUTE final conference bus operators and industry partners will give results of their work in answer to many key questions: What were the performance parameters of the buses? What were the main technical problems during the operation? And what was their availability and reliability?

    And the biggest question of all: When are we likely to see hydrogen buses commercially available?

    The new generation of the Mercedes-Benz Fuel-CELL-Hybrid will be presented at the conference and will take passengers on test drives. First testing of the prototype has already showed further improvements: up to 50 % efficiency improvement, very low noise and a simplified maintenance and service concept with reduced operating costs. The zero-emission bus has been awarded the Gold f-cell Award.

    MAN will also have their ICE Bus there for test drives.

    For more answers join the HyFLEET:CUTE Final Conference in Hamburg, Germany on Tuesday, 17th & Wednesday 18th November 2009.
