introduction:
Rapid deployment of renewable energies plays an important role in efforts against global warming and strengthens the security of energy supply. Among the renewable energy sources biomass plays a specific role. It covers about two thirds of all renewables and is the fastest growing sector in absolute terms.
A variety of different biomass raw materials can be used for energy purposes. Many different conversion technologies are available to transform primary energy from biomass to heat, electricity or transportation fuels. The use of biomass and the potential for further development is closely related to agriculture and forestry and to the energy sector.
The complexity of the bioenergy sector makes it difficult to gain a clear picture of the sector, its dynamics and its future potential. However, a targeted promotion of this important renewable energy source is decisive for the whole of the renewable energy industry in Europe.
Therefore AEBIOM, European Biomass Association, has published a comprehensive collection of data on biomass, mainly based on existing data published in many different documents in order to contribute to a better understanding and further successful development of bioenergy in Europe.
