Integrated Approach to Wood Waste Combustion for Heat Production in Poland

The project originally aimed to reduce barriers to the creation of a biomass market in Poland. In the time since the original concept was proposed and the project started it appears that a biomass market has to some extent developed. While this certainly reduces the relevance of the overall project purpose, a more detailed analysis of the (potential) contributions of the project at local, national and global levels shows that the project remains highly relevant to local and national development priorities. There is also growing interest to harness the strengths and financial resources of the private sector in the delivery of public services through the use of public-private partnerships. This is one of the main contributions of the project and is highly relevant to national circumstances.
