Project description
Bioenergy retrofits to make the industry in Europe more sustainable
Bioenergy retrofitting refers to the implementation of new state-of-the-art equipment into an existing facility or installation. It is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to increase Europe’s renewable energy share, making energy production more sustainable. The EU-funded BIOFIT project will support bioenergy retrofitting in industries that deal with first-generation biofuels and pulp and paper as well as fossil refineries, fossil fuel power stations and combined heat and power plants. Bioenergy retrofitting can replace fossil energy generation or outdated renewable technology. Retrofitting benefits include lower capital expenditure, shorter lead times, faster implementation of bioenergy technologies, and increased safety. Together with stakeholders and market participants, BIOFIT will develop concrete cases and investigate framework conditions to identify sector-specific barriers.
