Commission steps up biomass use – nearly € 80 million for biorefinery research

A major European Commission research initiative to improve and increase the sustainable use of biomass has started today. Researchers and industry will work together to develop new ways to convert biological feedstock into energy and other valuable resources, using biorefinery technology.

The Commission is providing € 52 million in funding over four years. Its 81 partners from universities, research institutes and industry in 20 countries will invest another € 28 million. The programme will contribute to the European Lead Market initiative on Bio-Based products. Biorefinery research will also contribute to the implementation of the European Energy & Climate Package and is an important feature of the Bio-energy European Industrial Initiative, one of the six industrial initiatives in the SET-Plan.
