A handbook for efficent energy use in industry has been created as a guide for reducing costs and environmental impacts.

EUREM 'European Energy Manager' is an educational programme developed in Germany more than 20 years ago, which has helped to train over 4 500 public- and private-sector enterprises, building managers, production managers and process engineers how to reduce energy use. In Slovenia, the first EUREM scheme was organised as part of the project EUREM.NET in 2008.

Handbooks and other literature on the production, design, use and control of forest biomass in Slovenia. The material includes useful information on energy contracting, wood biomass quality, case studies in biomass use for energy production, district heating systems, heating greenhouses with biomass, green electrical energy, biofuel production, Slovenian biomass producers and biomass logistic centres, as well as a handbook dedicated to biomass fuels.

At the beginning of the project Biomasstradecentre II, partners prepared a list of relevant topics on advanced techniques and technologies in biomass production. This document delineates technical backgrounds for advanced techniques and technologies in biomass production and gives an overview of the latest research and development achievements in this field. The gathered material will be used as background material for the preparation of workshops and trainings.

The Circular Economy Toolkit supports businesses in developing more environmentally sound decisions by identifying circular economy opportunities and providing information on how a company could start finding benefits.

The circular economy challenge is broken down in to seven key opportunities; explaining each of them and giving company examples to see how others are already generating profit out of the circular economy:

Biogas manual for the Slovenian market. The manual contains an array of information for choosing biogas plant locations, legislation requirements, basic design procedures and information for biogas plant operations.

National environmental protection programmes in Slovenia aimed at promoting energy efficency and renewables in NGOs. Support includes promotion, training and environmental awareness initiatives.

National environmental protection programmes in Slovenia which help SMEs to carry out and implement an energy audit.

Under this programme, support is given to investments aimed at improving energy efficiency, as well as technological changes in the existing facilities, installations and technical equipment, including: technologies rationalising energy and heat consumption, modernisation of industrial processes in the field of energy efficiency, implementation of energy quality and management systems, as well as implementation of power network management systems in enterprise facilities.
