Periodic Reporting for period 2 - FORBIO (Fostering Sustainable Feedstock Production for Advanced Biofuels on underutilised land in Europe)
Berichtszeitraum: 2017-07-01 bis 2018-12-31
In line with its above outlined vision, FORBIO has the following specific objectives:
1. Identification of social, economic, environmental and governance-related opportunities and challenges for advanced bioenergy deployment through a series of multi-stakeholder consultations;
2. Evaluation of the agronomic and techno-economic potential of the selected advanced bioenergy value chains in the case study sites of the target countries;
3. Assessment of the environmental, social and economic sustainability of the selected advanced bioenergy value chains in the target countries;
4. Analysis of the economic and non-economic barriers to the market uptake of the selected sustainable bioenergy technologies; and development of strategies to remove the aforementioned barriers, including identification of roles and responsibilities of relevant stakeholders;
5. Encouraging European farmers to produce non-food bioenergy carriers and capacity building of economic actors and other relevant stakeholders for setting up sustainable local bioenergy supply chains.
- Agronomic feasibility studies for the case study areas in Italy, Germany and Ukraine
- Techno-economic feasibility studies for the case study areas in Italy, Germany and Ukraine
- Best practices for bioenergy policy, regulations and support schemes
- Workshop and study tour in Italy
- Finally, the project was disseminated by various means (website, social media, flyers, posters, presentations, etc.) to the different stakeholder groups and to the large public.
