Consumers will be able to find comprehensive information about the products on the energy and biomass market on an online platform launched at the Bioenergy Forum within the Moldova Eco-Energetica Week. The platform represents an opportunity for those who want to promote products of this type, placing different announcements, IPN reports.

Ion Cozma, vice director of the Energy Efficiency Agency, said the creation of the platform derived from the necessity of ensuring a connection between consumers and producers. The relevant announcements that existed until now had a low level of plausibility. Only producers with quality certificates will be able to register on the information platform and to present the company’s data, which will later be verified.

“The proposed conception is aimed at creating an integral platform on bioenergy that would offer us a complex picture of the whole chain, namely producers/suppliers of biofuel – briquettes, pellets, baled straw – producers and suppliers of equipment, thermal plants, production lines, suppliers of raw material, etc.” stated Ion Cozma.

The platform piata-biomasa.md is available to users as of November 29. It provides information about suppliers of boilers, biomass producers, capacity of the thermal plant needed for heating the home, quantity of fuel needed for the heating season and the costs compared with those of heating based on natural gas or coal.
