 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The objective of the project is to harmonise biomass resource assessments, focusing on the availability of biomass for energy in Europe and its neighbouring regions. This harmonisation will improve the consistency, accuracy and reliability of biomass assessments, which can serve the planning of a transition to renewable energy in the European Union. The project activities will include (i) the analysis of recently conducted biomass resource assessments, (ii) the analysis of policy backgrounds, sustainability criteria and user requirements, (iii) the analysis of currently applied methodologies, (iv) an inventory of data sources and ongoing activities aimed at improved data quality and accessibility, (v) a proposal for a harmonised biomass potential assessment methodology, (vi) an illustration and validation of the developed approach in case studies at EU-27, the Pan-European level and for select countries, (vii) an evaluation of the harmonised approach and – if necessary – the identification of priorities for further development. The major focus will be (1) on methodological and dataset harmonisations fostered by ongoing research of a multidisciplinary team of project participants and (2) on the opportunities of utilising both earth observation and terrestrial data for biomass assessments and the integration of multiple data sources. The relevant sectors that will be investigated are forestry, energy crops and residues from traditional agriculture and waste. The consortium will build on its complementary sectorial expertise, which will allow the production of sector-overarching studies, taking competitive and economic aspects into account. Intensive scientific cooperation and dissemination will comprise the discussion of its objectives, interim and final results with stakeholders including the EC DGs, EEA, Eurostat, UN/ECE, research, industry, national ministries and associated authorities and sectorial organisations (ren. energy, agriculture, forestry, waste)'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Much has been made about Europe replacing fossil fuels with renewable biomass. The creation and adoption of a harmonised approach to evaluating these valuable resources will help ensure that biomass lives up to the hype.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Biomass can be exploited to produce energy in an environmentally sustainable manner. It comes from a variety of sources and can take on many different forms. Unfortunately there remains a great deal of uncertainty regarding estimates of the potential of biomass to power Europe.

The EU-funded 'Biomass energy Europe' (BEE) project aims to increase the accuracy and reliability of biomass assessments by establishing a common methodology. The first phase of the project involved reviewing a number of recent biomass studies.

Analysis by BEE's multidisciplinary team of experts helped identify best practices applied in different regions and to different types of biomass. This knowledge has subsequently been transformed into two handbooks addressing the topics of methods and data sources respectively.

The handbooks are already being put into practice in the context of several BEE illustration cases. The word is also being spread to stakeholder and potential user communities, which range from forestry to agriculture to waste management, through an aggressive information dissemination campaign. Additional exposure is also being gained by collaborating with another relevant EU research project.
