World Bioenergy 2012 Preview

Pre-conference: May 28

Arlanda – Jönköping
Bioenergy in agriculture
You will visit a combined heat and power plant, small-scale biodiesel production, biogas plant using municipal residues and more!

ENA Energi AB, Enköping
ENA Energi AB is a producer and distributor of district heating and electricity in the city of Enköping. The company has three boilers for heat production, originally using oil or propane gas as fuel. www.enae.se
