6. Advantages of EPC for the public building owners
The building owner does not use own funds and transfers its investment risk to the ESCO
Energy efficiency improvements are guaranteed by the ESCO and the payment of EPC service fees is linked to the achievement of these guarantees
The ESCO’s technical know-how and professional energy management services are used by the buildings owner
EPC is one of the best ways to finance deep energy retrofit of public buildings and to reach the EU targets and obligations

16. SRCplus –Short Rotation Woody Crops (SRC) for local supply chains and heat use
April March 2017
supported by the Intelligent Energy for Europe Programme of the European Commission.
Short rotation crops (SRCs) = Biomass productions systems cultivated for energy purposes using fast-growing tree species (willow, poplar, black locust…) with the ability to resprout from the stumps after harvest
Project aim:
support and speed-up the development of local SRC supply chains by implementing various capacity building measures and regional mobilization actions for the key actors in local supply chains.
SRC+ project
Advocates for sustainable SRC production and and local utilisation
Provides available information on SRC and facilitates discussion on important issues
Facilitates cooperation between stakeholders
Encourages further reserch on SRC
Harvest intervals/rotation cycles - every 3-5 years for period of years
The management practices for SRC such as soil preparation, weed control, planting, fertilisation, harvest, resemble more those of agricultural annual crops than of forestry  therefore, SRC are perennial crops grown on agricultural land
ABOUT THE PROJECT:

17. 10 partners from 8 countries
SRCplus regions:
Upper Bavaria – Achental (Germany)
Vidzeme (Latvia)
Brittany (France)
Zlin (Czech Republic)
Kentriki Makedonia (Greece)
Prespa (Macedonia)
Eastern Croatia (Osijek-Baranja and Vukovar-Srijem counties)

18. Opportunities SRC Biomass for energy (heat; electricity) BUT ALSO:
Reduction of risk from soil erosion
Improvement of water and soil quality (phytoremediation)
Carbon storage and enrichment of soil with organic matter
Enhancement of biodiversity in agricultural areas
The main purpose of growing SRC is energy production from SRC woodchips. However, growing SRC have proved to have othe benefits that are benefitial for environment and sociealy and which are listed here. Focusing on issuess such are these can be especially interesting in eastern Croatia, due to high intensity agriculture.
BUT ALSO:
Alternative „crop” on lower quality soil
New economic activity in rural areas - employment
Locally produced energy
Animal husbandry
Sewage sludge and ash application

19. Achievement and planned activities
Sustainable short rotation coppice: A Handbook
Analysis of prospects for SRC development in the region
Seminars for target groups (farmers, potential woodchip users, public land owners and administration).
Dialogue with relevant national institutions Provision of comments to the Law on SRC proposal (Ministry of Agriculture, Department of Forestry)
IN PREPARATION:
Seminar for farmers (December 2016, OBC)
Seminar for small and medium woodchip users (December 2016, OBC)
Info day on SRC woodchips production and quality (last week of October, OBC)
For information contact:
The handbook is available in all project languages (Croatian, German, etc.)
So far 4 seminars were held, mostly in Vukovar- Srijem county.
EIHP reacted in the name of the project to the Proposal of Law on SRC proposed by Ministry.
There are many activities that were carried out or are planned to be realised until March. If you want to know more about mentioned activities or the project contact:
