Description:
BioPAD (Bioenergy Proliferation and Deployment), led by Western Development Commission (Ireland), aims to develop new and effective bioenergy supply chains incorporating innovations in biomass fuels, supply chain logistics and conversion technologies. BioPAD is funded under the ERDF Interreg IVB Northern Periphery Programme and has partners in Scotland (Environmental Research Institute, UHI), Northern Ireland (Action Renewables) and Finland (Finnish Forest Research Institute, METLA). They are developing products and services to stimulate the use of bioenergy in areas of northern Europe. The project aims to gain a better understanding of the current status of biomass supply chains for a range of biomass types including wood products, energy crops, and agricultural wastes.
