The 11th Stakeholder Plenary Meeting of ETIP Bioenergy

The 11th Stakeholder Plenary Meeting of the ETIP Bioenergy has proven to be a unique forum for the bioenergy and renewable fuels community in Europe. This latest edition in Brussels was joined by about 80 stakeholders across policy, industry, and R&D sectors engaged in stimulating discussions on main developments, emerging technologies and crucial topics in the bioenergy and renewable fuels field. 

«Bioenergy and biomass are complex issues, and we are committed to share knowledge» said Patrik Klintbom, Chair of ETIP Bioenergy in the closing speech. Maria Georgiadou, Senior Expert at DG RTD, agreed and reinforced the message: «Sustainable implementation of bioenergy is a matter of morality».

New release: Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda 2023

The Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) of ETIP Bioenergy aims to identify important activities and focus areas that need to be considered in future research and innovation of the bioenergy and biofuels field, for enabling the value chains to reach their full market potential. 

The current edition is an update of the last release of 2018.  Officially released and presented on the occasion of the ETIP Bioenergy 11th Stakeholder Plenary Meeting (28 September 2023, Brussels), SRIA 2023 addresses the status of development and deployment of biomass technologies, including key research and innovation challenges; the biomass supply for a growing bioeconomy industry, advanced conversion technologies, emerging markets (aviation and shipping) and concludes with an outlook for biofuels beyond 2030.

SET4BIO Renewable Fuels And Bioenergy For A Low-Carbon Europe - accelerating the implementation of the SET Plan is a H2020 project aimed to support the full execution of the Implementation Plan of SET Plan Action 8 (Bioenergy and Renewable Fuels for Sustainable Transport). Started in March 2020, the project has been carried out by a consortium of six partners and was successfully concluded in August 2023. 
Over a three-and-half year life span, SET4BIO has carried out a number of activities and produced many valuable outputs and resources: several mappings of projects, industry stakeholders, platforms, funding and financing opportunities in the field of bioenergy and renewable fuels,  challenges to stimulate innovation, and a set of policy recommendations at hand of policy makers. These pieces of knowledge were disseminated through different and impactful tools, such as factsheets, interactive maps, booklets, articles and papers.
Most of these outputs were presented last June during the project final event dedicated to the revamping of the SET Plan and the role of bioenergy inthere, organized by ETIP Bioenergy in the framework of the 31st European Biomass Conference and Exhibition (EUBCE). 

A selection of the latest and most prominent SET4BIO project results is available below.
