On 18 January at the Press Club in Brussels, Bioenergy Europe hosted an event to delve into the heart of Europe’s energy landscape and the role of Bioenergy in the EU energy transition. During the event Jérémie Geelen, Bioenergy Europe’s Market Intelligence Director, presented a statistical report, ‘Bioenergy Landscape’ shedding light on bioenergy’s significance in the European Union’s decarbonization journey.…
The global market for the generation of electricity from solid biomass continues to grow. Japan is developing into the strongest market in Asia. In Europe, growth is being driven by demand for heating. Until 2032, ecoprog expects more than 1,200 plants with a total capacity of more than 19.1 GWel to go into operation worldwide.…
Air Burners, a manufacturer of air curtain burner systems worldwide, collaborated with Rolls-Royce and Volvo Construction Equipment (CE) to develop and test the BioCharger, an innovative, portable machine that turns biomass waste into energy. The BioCharger is the first machine of its kind, combining three innovative steps to provide off-grid power from vegetative waste management.…
Nouryon announced that it is now certified to the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification standard ISCC PLUS for the production of green monochloroacetic acid (MCA) at its site in Delfzijl, the Netherlands. The Company is a leading global supplier of MCA, and the first and only producer of green MCA that is derived from sustainably…
Bioenergy Europe’s 2023 Landscape Statistical Report highlights the crucial role of bioenergy in the EU’s renewable landscape. While renewables show resilience, imported fossil fuels remain a concern, posing risks to energy security. Biomass leads as a sustainable alternative, with 10.2% of EU energy consumption. The report advocates for bioenergy in reaching the revised 42.5% renewable…
ChemistryNL provides financial support to 11 research projects at the intersection of biobased and chemistry. A total of one million euros will be allocated for these projects, which are carried out by consortia of knowledge institutions and companies. Since the merger* with TKI BBE, ChemistryNL has been working on the integration of the biobased economy…
Download the full report. Given that flexibility – in terms of inputs, shifting between different outputs and varying outputs over time and place – and the ability to capture and store (or utilize) biogenic CO2 (BECCUS) are expected to be two of the more important characteristics for bioenergy systems of the future it is important to see how these two…
There are major challenges to reach a climate neutral society by 2050, as expressed in IEA’s Net Zero by 2050 roadmap. Among different sectors, transport is proving to be a very difficult sector to decarbonize. It implies moving away from established fossil fuels through electrification and using renewable fuels instead of fossil fuels. One of…
Last week, ministers from the 27 EU member states approved the updated Renewable Energy Directive (REDIII). Four weeks before, the European Parliament approved the final deal with a significant majority of 310.
This report was delivered in the frame of the project ‘Assessment of successes and lessons learned for biofuels deployment’. Cost-effective, reliable and sustainable feedstock supply chains are crucial to a successful development of advanced biofuels. Advanced biofuels will develop in an increasingly internationalized market with respect to tradeable feedstocks as well as international end-use markets…
