More...The RASLWES project is the implementation of an innovative, supply chain development approach within the partner regions to stimulate renewable energy deployment, with a focus on wood energy technologies. The WDC has mapped out the approach and its potential economic impact in the completed feasibility reports the Regional Wood Energy Strategy and Action Plan and the Economic Impact of the Regional Strategy.
The project will seek to pilot the renewable energy development (Wood Heat energy) Approach & Strategy with the regional partners. NPP participation will enable the regional partners to design and implemnent a generic development model to support renewable energy supply chains in rural communities. The feasibility, economic impact and action plan completed by the WDC for the Western Region will be shared with partners and built upon to progress a NPP model.
The Approach & Strategy is based on developing a regional wood fuel market based on the use of the private forestry resource. The target market is small to medium commercial/industrial heat users in the private and public sectors (minimum anticipated boiler size of 150kw+). Presently the Western Region has high levels of dependence on oil and has limited access to the gas network, with the resulting negative impacts on regional competitiveness. This project has the potential to demonstrate how peripheral regions can support regional economies by stimulating the growth of small scale renewable energies targeting private and public users.
