Policy Workshop on improved bioenergy carriers of the EC-projects BioBoost and SECTOR

After more than 3 years of research, two major projects on improved bioenergy carriers within the Energy Theme of FP7 will be finished in the course of this year. SECTOR and BioBoost invite you to a two day workshop summing up the results and for discussions on market developments and on policy implications.

Advanced bioenergy carriers are considered a very promising technology for the promotion of the large-scale implementation of bioenergy, which accelerate innovation in cutting edge European low carbon technologies, increase Europe‘s security of energy supply and give a boost to the European energy industry sector.

The projects started with the analysis of potential feedstock for the investigated technologies fast pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonisation, catalytic pyrolysis and torrefaction. Subsequently, the research focused on the logistics and end use applications spanning small to large scale boilers, gasifiers, CHPs and refineries to produce heat, power, fuels and biochemicals. This was complemented by economic and environmental evaluation of the value chains and the strong support of ISO standardisation.

The European Commission, represented by DG RTD, sponsors the two collaborative research projects with € 13 million for 4 years. The 34 partners involved are coming from
universities, research institutes and industry of 15 countries and have invested additional € 5 million in developing new ways to convert biomass feedstock into energy and valuable material.
