Open in call: FP7-ENERGY-2013-1 • Date of publication: 10 July 2012 • Submission Deadline: 28 November 2012 • Information Day Energy: 4 July 2012, Brussels • Registration open until 20 June on : http://ec.europa.eu/research/conferences/2012/energy_infoday/infoday_energy_en.htm • The event will also be broadcast live on the internet • Information Day KBBE: 16 July 2012, Brussels • Registration open until 20 June on : http://www.b2match.eu/biobro2012/pages/home
Objective To develop Strategies, Roadmaps and Tools (SRT) in support of decision-making for the sustainable and reliable supply of non-food biomass feedstock • at local, regional and Pan-European level • for the production of bioenergy and other bio-based products
Implementation & Outputs (1/3) • Developing “regional” SRTs Economic, social, environmental and logistics research, building on most relevant data and projects (large body of existing knowledge) • Validating and Testing of the SRTs The SRT to be offered to Member States, Associated and neighbouringcountries for testing, validation and feedback (sufficient number of “regions”)
Implementation & Outputs (2/3) • Investigating interactions and complementaritiesbetween the regional SRTs at Pan-European level • Suggesting optimal flows of biomass feedstock to all uses alongside best possible organisation of biomass pre-treatment and conversion plants at interregional levels
Implementation & Outputs (3/3) • Identifying most promising logistic supply-chains at local, regional and pan-European levels to be further elaborated into a set of implementation plans, including: • infrastructures needed • transport modes • flows of feedstock
Notes • Attention to small-scale plants suitable for decentralized operation with associated benefits to rural communities (besides the centralized large-scale units involving long distance biomass transport) • South East European and East Neighbourhood countries to be considered as part of this Pan-European approach
Expected Benefits • Help local, regional and national authorities in their decisions for planning and strategy implementation for non-food biomass feedstock • Help industries involved in logistics, harvesting, pre-treatment and conversion of biomass for their investment decisions regarding technology, plant location, transport means, etc. • Substantial environmental, economic and social benefits
