Objective The overall objective of the proposed specific support action is to determine and establish the basis by which the EU biomass industrial companies might enter the co-firing power generation market in China, which offers very significant potential. This can underpin their sustainability at a time when market prospects in Europe are limited, while also offering the prospect of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) opportunities for greenhouse gas emissions reduction. A well-established consortium, comprising EU and Chinese organisations, will work together to gather data on the sources and availability of biomass/biogenic wastes in China; will determine various concepts for the co-firing of such renewable energy materials with coal in the various types of Chinese coal fired plants; will carry out techno-economic, socio-economic and environmental assessments of these concepts.
