Bioenergy Europe is the voice of European bioenergy. It aims to develop a sustainable bioenergy market based on fair business conditions. Founded in 1990, Bioenergy Europe is a non-profit, Brussels-based international organisation bringing together 41 associations and 122 companies, as well as academia and research institutes from across Europe.

“Bioenergy offers an essential opportunity to Europe for a negative emission pathway, that sounds reasonable on a technico-economic level.” Says Jean Marc Jossart, Secretary General of Bioenergy Europe. “The same ton of biomass saves CO2 emissions several times: once when used as material instead of fossil intensive concrete or steel, then as bio-waste substituting fossil fuels for energy, and thirdly through bioenergy CCS. A real cascade of CO2 savings.”

Bioenergy Europe recently published a useful factsheet on bioenergy with carbon capture and storage.
