On 9th February 2009, the international Joint Call on Clean Biomass Combustion was launched within the framework of ERA-NET Bioenergy.

The call aims to generate joint European research and development activities and focused on four topics:

  1. Modelling of the combustion process 
  2. Advanced characterisation and relevant standardisation of biofuels 
  3. Technology development for fine particle and NOx reduction (< 20 MWth)
  4. Health effects of small scale combustion (< 3 MWth)

10 Countries partipated in the call: Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland of which 8 partners from the ERA-NET Bioenergy network. In total 11 projects were sent to the international jury for evaluation. 4 Projects were funded and 7 projects were rejected.
