Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament, aims to promote the deployment of renewable energy sources in RES-e, heating and transport, supported by trans-border grids and the international interchange of energy from renewable resources.The biomass use for heating and cooling has reached different development levels in each EU countries, due to the differences between national frameworks and EU objectives. For many EU states, mainly center and north Europe, reaching the target of energy from renewable source by 2020 means to exploit their total biomass sources, due to the basic renewable potential of the biomass compared to other sources such as solar or wind. The biomass for heating and cooling in building sector, both domestic and industrial, is the area of development with more potential, but the sector development lacks of a homogeneous workers skills development. Directive 2009/28/CE, article 14, establish that the state Members will watch over the implantation of a qualification system, before 31ts December 2012, for biomass installers, and geothermal installers.Taking into account this situation, and forecasting the exponential rise of the biomass sector in some EU countries, the project transferred the methodology for creating a Vocational Training Structure to establish a European Biomass Boiler Installer Qualification based on previous market experiences.The project covered the priority 3.2.1 of the Leonardo program: “Encouragement of cooperation between VET and the world of work”.The main project objectives were:• To develop a VET structure for the biomass sector. This allowed establishing a qualification system for the future, in accordance with the needs of the market.• To transfer methods, developed in previous Leonardo Projects, for the identification of needed skills, participation of employers and usage of common European tools (e. g. definition of knowledge, skills, competences and description of learning outcomes) to promote transparency and recognition of competences. • To support the implementation of the "New Skills for New Jobs" strategy by improving the competences and skills of the biomass sector as part of the new “green job” market.• To boost the development of the European biomass sector by improving the necessary competences and skills.• To facilitate job creation and rural development in isolated areas with an important bio-energy potential and exploitable rural resources The project worked on the previous experiences that some partners obtained developing a European Qualification Profile in the solar sector (LEONARDO project, SolTec).
