International Conference on the Issues for Sustainable use of Biomass Resoueces for EnergyOn this page are the links to the proceedings for a three-day conference that was held in August 2005 in Colombo, Sri Lanka on the theme of “Issues for Sustainable Use of Biomass Resources for Energy.” The objective of the conference was to review progress being made within the region and the lessons that have already been learnt on the use of wood and agricultural waste for energy production and to define what should be the future strategy for increasing the proportion of energy produced from these materials. The conference was targeted at researchers, energy policy makers, farm groups and private companies involved in sustainable energy production from wood fuel and agricultural waste working in the region and involved either in the growing side or in the conversion process.
