TIMBER (Tools for Integrated Management of Biomass Energy Resources)
|
 TIMBER The project Timber aims to design a standard model for the regional development of sustainable and renewable energy based on biomass resources. Each partner carries out several studies (such as regional sustainable analyses in biomass production, feasibility studies on several kinds of biomass, location studies, logistics studies) on which the standard regional model will be based. This model will be usable in other regions in Europe.
