In Romania, biomass and cogeneration sector In Romania, biomass and cogeneration sector is developing. If there is one sector that will is developing. If there is one sector that will have a significant development in 2013-have a significant development in 2013-2014, that will be the production of energy 2014, that will be the production of energy through cogeneration. Romania is the place through cogeneration. Romania is the place for it and the national network needs it.for it and the national network needs it.
