Bioenergy Retrofits for Europe's Industry
EU-funded BIOFIT project will facilitate bioenergy production by retrofitting Europe’s industries.
Enschede - Bioenergy is an essential form of renewable energy, providing an estimated 60%
of current renewable energy supply in the EU28. Anno 2018 the production of bioenergy
takes on many forms. Spurred by innovation, bioenergy technologies are becoming ever
more advanced and diverse, leading to the energy-efficient production of power, heat and
cooling and a variety of transport fuels. Retrofitting – which means replacing a part of an
existing facility or installation with state-of-the-art equipment – can be a cost-effective
solution to expanding bioenergy use in industry. Retrofitting is one of the fast ways to
increase Europe’s renewable energy share by making the energy production of existing
industries more sustainable.

Bioenergy policies and status of implementation
New report by BIOENERGY 2020+ published
Countries across the globe show great variation in their specific drivers for bioenergy and their capability of producing biomass. To introduce bioenergy globally, we must understand the specific characteristic of each country. Successful market introduction of bioenergy is based on strong policies adapted to the local situation that turn low carbon energy provision into a business case.

PromoBio - New bioenergy business implemented in Eastern Europe
Promotion of regional bioenergy initiatives (PromoBio) project was a three year project co-funded by the European Commission under the Intelligent Energy Europe programme. The three-year project started in June 2011 focused on helping companies and regional decision-makers in Eastern Europe to increase the use of biomass for energy. The project aimed to provide concrete support for local companies in establishing new business projects and support the development of regional policy framework related to bioenergy. The project involved five partner countries (Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Austria, Finland) and its actions were concentrated on three target regions: Olsztyn & Ostróda in Poland, Centru Region in Romania and Banská Bystrica Region in Slovakia.
