On the 6th of June 2023, BLAZE partners gathered in Bologna (IT) to attend the 31st European Biomass Conference and Exhibition.

Here, the Dissemination partner EUBIA and ETA Florence set up a final project event that saw the participation of the sister project Smart CHP, as well as a new Horizon Europ project developing a new Micro CHP turbine: Fit4Micro.

This venue was also the occasion to conclude the activities of the BIOCOGEN 2030 platform, a joint initiative launched by BLAZE and SmartCHP in 2020.
