To All Relevant Organizations:
Driven by favorable policies for clean heating vigorously implemented in northern China, biomass energy has developed rapidly as a key technical solution. Remarkable progress has been achieved in biomass heating technologies, industrial growth and demonstration project promotion.
Against this new backdrop, to support Chinese enterprises to “go global” and “bring‑in” advanced resources, and foster technological innovation as well as international exchange and cooperation, China Stove Web, upon the invitation of the World Bioenergy Association and Pro Pellets Austria, will organize domestic industry‑related organizations and individuals for a study tour to Austria and Italy. The mission includes biomass‑technology exchanges and business‑matching activities, as well as a visit to Progetto Fuoco 2024 (Verona Fireplace & Barbecue Exhibition), opening on 28 February in Verona, Italy.
As the world’s most professional and largest‑scale biomass‑energy exhibition held biennially, its previous edition welcomed over 700 exhibitors and more than 70,000 visitors. The exhibits cover modern and traditional biomass fireplaces, stoves, barbecues, boilers and other heating equipment; pellet fuels and firewood; pellet‑processing machinery; and large‑scale integrated biomass‑energy systems.
