Since its early years, Bioenergy Europe has been involved in European projects, as either a partner or the coordinator. Bioenergy Europe is currently taking part in one project.

  • RHC Platform

    Ongoing

    The European Technology and Innovation Platform on Renewable Heating & Cooling (RHC-ETIP) brings together stakeholders from the biomass, geothermal, solar thermal and heat pump sectors – including the related industries such as district heating and cooling, thermal energy storage, and hybrid systems – to define a common strategy for increasing the use of renewable energy technologies for heating and cooling.

  • Africa-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Programme

    Completed

    Since 2015, Bioenergy Europe has been a partner of the Africa-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Programme (RECP), which was launched by European and African heads of state under the Africa-EU Energy Partnership (AEEP). Bioenergy Europe plays an important role helping to mobilise European bioenergy companies for joint-business development in African renewable energy markets.

  • AshMelt

    Completed

    The market for solid biofuels is growing rapidly, and the demand for raw materials is increasing. The project aimed at extending the raw material basis for biofuel production covering also wooden materials of lower quality as well as agricultural raw materials and residues, which often show unfavourable ash melting properties.

  • BASIS

    Completed

    BASIS engaged with bioenergy project developers and investors, providing them with a comprehensive view on the sustainable supply and competition for wood chip boilers, using intuitive regional maps of all EU member states. Information on wood supply potential combined with existing use of wood chips and sustainability aspects influencing such supply is processed on the basis of a sound methodology.

  • BIFFIO

    Completed

    The agriculture and aquaculture sectors are under continuous pressure to improve sustainability and reduce environmental impact. BiFFiO- Cooperation between the aquaculture and agriculture sectors with the intent to use animal manure and fish faeces for sustainable production and utilisation of renewable The BiFFiO consortium developed an economical and efficient system for handling mixed waste from aquaculture and agriculture. The project also made recommendations as to how the energy produced could best be used.

  • BioAlgaeSorb

    Completed

    BioAlgaeSorb focused on enabling European SMEs to remediate waste, reduce Green House Gas emissions and produce biofuels via microalgae cultivation. The project developed the production and exploitation of algae biomass together with the production of valuable bio-products/co-products using a biorefinery approach. The production of algae and its use for biofuels whilst valorising the co-products would not only reduce GHG emissions but would also address a number of issues such as fresh water supply (microalgae require far less fresh water than any other crop), and provide useful co-products such as bioplastics , raw materials for chemicals etc.

  • Bioenergy4Business

    Completed

    The goal of this project was to support and promote the (partial) substitution of fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) used for heating, by available bioenergy sources (industrial wastes, forest biomass, straw and other agricultural biomass) in the project partners’ countries and beyond. In this context, the project contributed to increase much-needed security of energy supply through lower dependence on fossil fuels from politically volatile sources.

  • Biomass Policies

    Completed

    The Biomass Policies project brought together biomass and bioenergy experts from European institutions and 11 national energy agencies to provide a better understanding of how biomass resources can be efficiently integrated into the energy & biomaterial systems while taking into account the availability of resources, new conversion technologies and stimulation and regulation measures.

  • BioRES

    Completed

    BioRES introduced the innovative concept of Biomass Logistic and Trade Centres (BLTCs) in Serbia, Croatia, and Bulgaria on the basis of cooperation with technology leaders from Austria, Slovenia, Germany, and Finland. This will help to increase the demand for woody bioenergy products (processed fire wood, wood chips, wood pellets, and wood briquettes) in these countries and contribute to the achievement of EU targets set out in the RES Directive (2009/28/EC).

  • BIOGRACE II

    Completed

    The project BioGrace-II harmonised calculations of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for electricity, heating and cooling from biomass. The project builds upon the earlier (2010-2012) IEE-project BioGrace which harmonised GHG calculations for biofuels for transport.

  • Cross Border Bioenergy

    Completed

    The Cross Border Bioenergy project developed a practicable tool for bioenergy companies to assess the attractiveness of European markets for cross-border investments, thereby making them less dependent on fluctuating domestic market conditions and strengthening the whole bioenergy industry.

     

  • ENCROP

    Completed

    ENCROP promoted the production and utilisation of lignocellulosic energy crops at the European level. The project aimed at increasing the knowledge of different actors along the energy crop production chain, as well as the general public, on the ecological, technical, economic, logistic and administrative matters related to energy crop production and utilisation. The project focused on the two most prominent pathways for application at European level for the conversion of lignocellulosic energy crop biomass to biofuels and/ or energy: direct combustion and conversion into biogas.
