Questionnaire: Feedback on standards for solid biomass

 

Both standardisation bodies and policy makers depend on industry feedback in order to create supportive frameworks for the development of solid biofuel markets. The collected feedback will be analysed and provided to relevant standardisation committees and policy makers.

We would like to invite you to give your opinion on the current standards for solid biomass and on the need for new standards.

Please use this QuestBack link in English and complete the feedback questionnaire online
or download the questionnaire, fill it and send it to the following email address: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 

Your feedback will be treated anonymously

The results will be used by national and international standardization bodies in the process of reviewing current standards or developing new standards and will be presented to European and national policy makers.

All the resulting publications on Feedback from the industry in the frame of the SolidStandards project can be found here
