1 LITHUANIA GIVES GREEN LIGHT FOR BIOMASS ENERGY Virginijus Ramanauskas The president of Lithuanian Biomass Energy Association LITBIOMA

2 Virginijus Ramanauskas Education Masters degree in Thermal engineering, Kaunas University of Technology Theme: Technical and economical peculiarities of deep cooling (below the dew point) of fume Work experience Founder and CEO of Enerstena Group of Companies Leading companies of Lithuanian energy sector with 15 years of experience in biomass heating technologies: designing and manufacture of biomass boilers, flue gas condensers, furnaces and other technological equipment for biomass boiler plants. Social activities President of Lithuanian Biomass Energy Association LITBIOMA (from 2014) Lithuanian Biomass Energy Association LITBIOMA was established in 2003 and is currently comprised of 55 members.

3 Lithuanian Biomass Energy Association LITBIOMA Lithuanian Biomass Energy Association LITBIOMA was established in summer of 2003and is currently comprised of 55 members. The association involves the producers and suppliers of solid biomass and other renewable local resources, such as wood, straw, energetic willows, peat, as well as the producers and designers of solid biomass boiler rooms and other equipment, developers of plantations and academic institutions. In 2014 was established scientific - technical council of Litbioma. Council is composed of 10 members - scientists from the most advanced Lithuanian universities. We are members of:
