Enough potential for biomass based energy production, but there are barriers to overcome:

1. Knowledge barriers2. Supply barriers3. Demand barriers4. Financial barriers

Barriers

Five workpackages:

WP1 Management and coordination

WP2 Best Practices and Regional Biomass studies

WP3 Development of a Standardized Biomass

Energy Model

WP4 Biomass Energy Plans

WP5 Dissemination and involvement of key actors

Project set-up

Establishment of:

- Project group

- Steering committee

- Regional Stakeholder Committee

Different ways of communication

WP1 – Management and coordination

Collection of three best practices per region

Regional studies Groene Woud;- A survey of the potential and necessary maximum production

capacity at region scale and the impact it has on sustainable regional development goals

- A location scan

- A study of possibilities for further expansion

- An analysis of legal and practical obstacles for implementation as well as solutions for this

WP2 – Best Practices and Regional Biomass Studies

Regional studies Andalucía;- Two pre feasibility studies

- for a large scal biomass plant using vine pruning residues;

- for the collection of forestry residues and usage in smaller-scale CHP boilers.

WP2 – Best Practices and Regional Biomass Studies

Regional studies Malopolska;– analysis of current resources and possible future potential;– model based problem analysis; – study of the profitability of an investment with various types of

fuel used;– comparison of different technical solutions;– assessment of the potential environmental effects using

biomass for energy production compared to traditional energy sources;

– Study on the implementation of model technical solutions starting from processing biomass at the local level.

WP2 – Best Practices and Regional Biomass Studies

Regional studies Stockholm Region;- Analysis of suitable logistic solutions (together

with energy companies)- Study on logistics of biomass substrates and

planning of adequate treatment and production sites for the increasing production of biogas.

WP2 – Best Practices and Regional Biomass Studies

WP3 contains:- A study into barriers and possibilities in biomass collection and

distribution at the local/regional level;

- A regional analysis in which treats, chances and solutions for a sustainable implementation for the model are analysed;

- The ecological, social and economic sustainability of the new model will be looked upon including the potential integration of social groups in production and logistics.

WP3 – Development of a standardized Biomass Energy Model

- Outcomes of previous WPs integrated in ready-to-implement Biomass Energy Plan (including a businessmodel);

- Design of a clear integrated management of the supply chain;

- Uniting stakeholders, engaging key actors and setting out a strategy.

WP4 – Biomass Energy Plans
