Processing of biomass
Among the most important renewable energy sources is the biomass. Its importance lies in the relatively significant resources in its storage options, and especially in improving the balance of dangerous CO2 emissions.
In this area we are awaiting the following main tasks:
- Participate in developing of regional energy concepts in the higher territorial units
- Prepare projects for the energy use of biomass in prospective areas
- Introduce technology to ensure effective preparation of biomass fuel and increase energy efficiency of its recovery
In o.u. Kamenica nad Cirochou we use sawdust combustion technology to produce 2500 GJ, starting with the production of cleft wood fuel from waste. We are preparing the establishment of energy plantations of fast-growing trees (poplar, willow, acacia, aspen, alder) which form a promising source of biomass fuel. 
Energy crops can be based on land unsuitable for traditional agricultural and forestry production, on soils temporarily excluded from agricultural production, contaminated soils, which are only suitable for non - food production purposes and also on the devastated areas in industrial agglomerations.
Biomass is important not only as an energy source, but it has equally important and crucial role in the socio-economic aspects, especially in rural areas, because it is possible to create many new jobs, and ensures the maintenance of the country.
