New initiative for Biomass resources in the ecoEnergyland – Güssing, Austria
Project partner European Center for Renewable Energy Güssing (EEE) is working on a Master plan (Renewable strategy planning – RESP) for its COACH BioEenergy project region, the ecoEnergyland. The initiative ecoEnergyland itself is a co-operation between 14 communities of the Güssing district as well as the EEE itself with the goal to increase the use of renewables as much as possible.
On the 11th of March 2011 the European Center for Renewable Energy Güssing (EEE) is organizing the conference “Energy day” in Güssing. In co-operation with the Central Europe project “COACH BioEenergy” more than 20 exhibiting companies will inform different interest groups about all forms of renewable energies in the Technology Center Güssing.

Na Węgrzech rozpoczęto strategiczne planowanie na rzecz energii odnawialnej
Jednym z działań realizowanych obecnie w ramach projektu COACH BioEnergy jest opracowanie Strategii na Rzecz Energii Odnawialnej (RESP) dla regionów modelowych wybranych wcześniej w poszczególnych krajach uczestniczących w projekcie.
Na Węgrzech wybrano, po uzgodnieniach z burmistrzem, Panem László Vécsey, miasto Szada w regionie Pest liczące 4 tysiące. Naukowcy z Instytutu Zarządzania Środowiskiem i Krajobrazem Uniwersytetu Istvan Szent, będącego jednym z partnerów w projekcie, mieli znaczący wkład w przygotowanie studium wykonalności dla biogazowni w Szada. Opracowanie kompleksowych działań w dziedzinie energii odnawialnej, jakim jest Strategia na Rzecz Energii Odnawialnej jest kontynuacją nawiązanej wcześniej współpracy.
