Welcome to ERA-NET Bioenergy! Here you can find background information and project descriptions on bioenergy research.
The European strategy for renewable energy sources identifies bioenergy as the most important renewable energy source for the future: a source of cleaner, more secure and sustainable power for Europe. Bioenergy is a highly diverse area: crops are converted to biofuels for transport; landfill sites are tapped for biogas to heat towns; and forestry residues are used to produce electricity. As national programmes fund 90% of bioenergy research in Europe, coordinating them will improve outcomes. The ERA-NET Bioenergy networks national bioenergy research programmes to improve cost-effectiveness and ensure the maximum research impacts for this vital energy sector. More about ERA-NET Bioenergy.
Authorities from ten countries are currently participating in ERA-NET Bioenergy. Browse through general information on research, programmes, calls etc. that is publicly available. Target groups are for example researchers, programme managers and programme owners.
New Joint call: Clean Biomass Combustion
The topic of the call is clean biomass combustion. Clean Biomass Combustion is a sustainable way to ensure a renewable energy supply and improved air quality. It is also a prerequisite for a significant extension of biomass use for power and heat production. The joint call was open from 9th February 2009 until 30th April 2009. Proposals are now being evaluated by an international jury. Decisions about funding are not expected before 11th September when the national clearing processes end.
