Project description
Europe’s deployment of biofuels and bioenergy is on fire
The European Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan is propelling Europe towards its climate-neutral energy goals with activities and actions promoting the development of low-carbon and cost-competitive technologies. In the context of biofuel and bioenergy value chains, the European Technology and Innovation Platform (ETIP) Bioenergy is accelerating the sustainable deployment of biofuels and bioenergy in the EU. The EU-funded ETIP-B-SABS 2 project is providing holistic assistance to ETIP Bioenergy by coordinating the teams’ contributions to the SET Plan, enhancing collaboration with other areas and stakeholders of the SET Plan, and assisting with the definition of research roadmaps and funding opportunities.
Objective
ETIP-B-SABS 2 will support and empower renewable fuel and bioenergy stakeholders’ contributions to the Energy Union and, more specifically, the Strategic Energy Technology (SET)-Plan. The European Technology and Innovation Platform Bioenergy aims to actively engage with these stakeholders and link their needs to policy making of the European Commission, and the project´s objective is to support ETIP-Bioenergy in this task. Specific objectives are to facilitate the following activities of ETIP-Bioenergy:
• contributions to the SET-Plan activities and to the Strategic R&I Implementation Plans;
• collaboration and interaction with other relevant initiatives addressing renewable fuels, decarbonisation of transport, bioenergy and biomass valorisation/ bio-based value chains;
• constant provision of scientifically sound, unbiased, up to date information on the status of the renewable fuels and bioenergy sector
• engagement with stakeholders as to better understand the actor perspective and the socio-technical aspects of technology development and implementation; with a special focus on support for outreach and engagement of actors in the civil society
• assistance to the European Commission and Member States in defining research programmes, financial instruments, while addressing lower TRL research needs as well as advancing close to market technologies.
