BioTrade2020plus aims at providing guidelines for the development of a
European Bioenergy Trade Strategy that ensures that imported bio-resources
are sustainably sourced and used in an efficient way, while avoiding distortion
of other (non-energy) markets (for 2020 and 2030).
•
Determine sustainable potentials of lignocellulosic biomass in the main sourcing regions.
Definition and application of sustainability criteria and indicators
•
Give insights in possible availability and indicative costs of sustainably produced lignocellulosic
biomass from the main sourcing regions to be exported to the EU-28
•
Provide European industry with transparent information to identify, quantify and mobilize
sustainable and resource efficient lignocellulosic biomass resources from the main export
regions to the EU-28 by means of a user friendly interactive tool based on GIS and an
integrated user interface
•
Create a policy strategy to promote the use of bioenergy, ensuring a sustainable and fair
supply market from outside the EU to complement the existing demand without halting
domestic production
