References and Experience

The Energy Agency of Plovdiv (EAP) where the Centre of Excellence should be establish, will be a coordinator of the project and is the participant organization from the low performing Member State. Founded in 2000 under the Save II program of the European Commission, as a non-government organization EE and RES research organization the Energy Agency of Plovdiv (EAP), Bulgaria, is devoted to promoting the efficient and sustainable use of energy and to expanding the use of renewable energy. EAP carries out feasibility studies, energy and environmental analyses within the interaction economy-energy-environment-climate change, energy project identification, development and management EAP has considerable experience working in the field of biomass. EAP has been promoting the use of biomass in the form of pellets for heating and in the form of wood chips for larger installations for years now. The agency has good working relationships with producers of pellets, wood chips and pellet stoves and biolers, as well as with municipalities that are interested in using biomass for energy. EAP is a partner in the IEE funded project BioRegions where we have done a biomass feasibility study, analysis of potentials, supported installations, drafted Biomass utilization Action Plan, etc. As part of the project a region in the country was established, called a Bioregion, that strives to meet most of its energy needs through using biomass, including the utilization of CHP projects on biomass. EAP has also participated in the RES League project where it focused on and promoted biomass installations. EAP established a Technology Transfer Offices of Knowledge for Solid Biofuels Quality under the Operational Program “Development of the Competitiveness of the Bulgarian Economy” 2007-2013 (resources coming from the European Structural Funds). In addition, EAP is establishing an accredited laboratory for certification and testing of solid biofuels and compost. The laboratory will issue certifications for solid biofuels and will test their quality and characteristics.
