EUBIONET III

The EUBIONET III project aims to increase the use of biomass based fuel in the EU by finding ways to overcome market barriers.

• National biomass programmes and biomass fuel potentials will be analysed especially for different industrial residues and agrobiomass.
• International trade of biomass fuel will be promoted, price mechanisms will be analysed and new CN codes for biomass fuels will be proposed.
• Certification and sustainability criteria for biomass fuels will be set in co-operation with market actors.
• Implementing of new CEN standards for solid biofuels will be enhanced.
• Bioenergy use will be promoted by raising awareness on biomass heating aiming at fuel switch to biomass.
• The appropriate use of biomass resources will be assessed by analysing raw material availability within and between bioenergy, forest industry and agricultural sectors.
