SNISD, in partnership with Liaocheng Municipal Government, convened the International Workshop on Energy Crop Plantation and Biomass Power Plant in Liaocheng, Shandong Province.
Participants include officials and program officers from State Development & Reform Commission, State Forestry Administration, Shandong Development & Reform Commission, Liaocheng Municipal Government and World Wide Fund for Nature as well as experts from Nanjing Forestry University, AB Enkopings Varmeverk and University of Southern Denmark. They exchanged their views and ideas about the feasibility to launch energy crop plantation and establish a biomass power plant in Liaocheng.
SNISD showed a feature program NEW ENERGY, NEW HOPE broadcast in Man & Nature of China Central Television about 2 years ago. The film was co-produced by SNISD and CCTV in Sweden and Denmark. (Anyone who needs the DVD copy of the film, please contact Mr. Zhan Wanli, program officer of SNISD.)
All those attended the workshop expressed their confidence and support for the energy crop plantation and biomass power plant.
