It will be held at the Roganstown Golf and Country Club in Co Dublin and the Killarney Plaza Hotel, Killarney on August 25 and September 15 respectively.
“From gate to grate” will look at the production of wood pellets; boiler types; ensuring burning efficiencies; the cost of biomass installations; and the planning involved in setting them up.
