Objective
The consortium involved in this initiative involves twenty institutes, representing five West-European EU countries, seven Central and East European countries, and the three Baltic States, involved in research, development and implementation activities of energy crops production, utilisation of agricultural and forestral residues, and processing and utilisation for energy purposes (both power/heat and transport fuels). The project will have the following specific objectives:
* to develop standardized formats for presentation of agricultural, technical, environmental, economic and institutional aspects of the production, processing and utilisation of biomass for energy purposes in comprehensive national reports;
* to disseminate the current scientific and practical achievements on biomass energy per country in the CEC-and West Europe;
* to bring together representatives of the agricultural, energy, environmental and governmental sector from both West Europe as the CEC at the EC Bioenergy Conference in Wurtzburg, Germany (1998) as well as at the First EC Bioenergy Market Strategy conference for CEC in Budapest (1999);
* to establish sustainable research and cooperation relationships between currently existing West European Biomass Energy Networks, research institutes agricultural organisations, energy companies and national governments through a transfer of knowledge and know-how from West to East and vice versa;
* to stimulate removal of structural and country specific agricultural, technical bottle-necks for large-scale implementation;
* to involve the new CEC-partners into the very comprehensive and structured internetwork web-sites of the EECI-Network, in which up-to-date scientific and practical achievements from the network members are presented;
* to further develop environmental sound bioenergy markets in CEC;
* to develop new initiatives on pilot and demonstration project on energy crops production, processing and litilisation in C&E Europe and the Baltic countries;
* to position and strongly improve the competitiveness of West European organisations and firms (manufacturers, R&D institutions, consultants active in the whole field of bioenergy in CEC.
