Speech of Dr. Hermann Scheer, Member of the German Parliament, President of EUROSOLAR, at the Opening Session of the 12th European Biomass Conference 2002, Amsterdam, June 17th, 2002

Ladies and Gentleman,

my most intensive meeting with the science and technology in the field of Biomass for Energy, Agriculture and Industry I had when I chaired the VII. European Biomass Conference in Florence 1992, together with David Hall as the chairman of the scientific committee. Many things happened in the last decade for Bio-Energy. The most important are, in my point of view, the increasing policy awareness on BioEnergy and the increasing awareness of the car industry to recognise Bio-Energy as a transport fuel.
