Press Release Summary: Leading trade fair IHE® WoodEnergy provides information in
Augsburg

Press Release Body: Rising oil and gas prices through increasing mobility
requirements, growing energy demands and the scarcity of fossil commodities means
that the sustainability of energy supplies are more necessary than ever before. The
heating sector accounts for 57% of all energy use making the scarcity of oil and gas
especially noticeable within this area. However where the transfer to renewable
primary products could be well realisable not only technically but also economically
the potential of renewable energy is still a long way from being utilised.

In the process all forth in the use of wood energy in the highly modern energy
plants are offered the chance to strengthen medium-sized businesses and render not
only thousands of jobs but make a contribution to care and preserve our forests: The
federal forest inventory II showed in Autumn 2006 that to date only 60% of the
enormity in the German forests which had wood energy potential, were being used.
Additionally energy from wood renders a massive support for climate protection.

In the sector of pellet boilers as well as in the biomass heat and power plants
sector for local heat networks, the break in sales value in Germany in 2006 shows
again an increasing demand. To use the potential of wood energy as a main heat
supplier, the innovative technologies will also be needed for export. Investing in
the development of the wood energy branch is vital for the economy.

However, to introduce wood strongly onto the energy market, all involved companies
and individuals must concentrate their power and the general conditions arranged
accordingly. Exchanges between experts, further development of newer ideas and
industry information are just as essential for the political decision makers and the
public.

One central platform for knowledge exchange and information is offered by the trade
fair IHE® WoodEnergy from the 9th to the 12th of October 2008 within the framework
of RENEXPO® in Augsburg. IHE® as well as the accompanying 8th International BBE
(German Bioenergy Association) conference, has established itself as the most
important meeting point for wood energy and biomass in Germany.

Topics of the IHE® includes topics ranging from the scrap wood preparation, pellet
manufacturing technology, energy and heat generation from pellet, split log,
firewood and wood chip heating facilities, fireplace and tiled stoves to wood
heating plants as well as wood carburators, cooling with biomass and stirling as
well as steam turbine power plant.

The BBE (German Bioenergy Association) conference will inform about approved
measures with well-known speakers from politics, business and associations about the
most current developments in the sector. The boom in economics and business cycle of
bioenergy, the current amendments of renewable energy laws and the repercussions for
wood energy, innovation for energy and heat generation from biomass, sustainability
and efficiency of biomass allocation, wood in the heat market as well as financing
and safeguarding of wood energy projects will be discussed.

RENEXPO® offers simultaneously an overview in the entire scope of renewable energy
and energy efficiency.
