Targets
To double the share of renewable energy
from 6% to 12% in 2010 (currently 2/3 (56
Mio tons) of 6% is from Biomass/ wastemainly Heat)
of gross energy consumption
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions
(meet the commitments made by the EU under
the 1997 Kyoto Protocol)

energy in the EU
Communication (2004) 366 final
•v Evaluation of the progress made by the EU15 towards
achieving national RES-e targets for 2010.
•
Assessment of the prospects for achieving the target of a 12%
share of renewable energy in overall energy consumption in the
EU15 in 2010.
•
Proposals for concrete actions at national and Community level
in the context of the Bonn World Renewable Energy Conference.

Tools to support take up of Bioenergy
1. The VI th Framework Programme
Aim to integrate & Strengthen European R&D.
Budget of €17,5 Bn (2002 - 2006) – € 800 Mio for Sustainable E
Thematic Priority: Sustainable Development, Global Change
& Ecosystems: includes:
- Clean and renewable energies including biomass
- Alternative fuels including biofuels
2. The Intelligent Energy Europe Programme
The main objective is to fill the gap between
demonstration & commercialisation

Proposals
• Provide analysis of Forest Resources (for energy/ wood
Processing ind.)
• Develop techno-economical analyses to support BioE
sector
• Study/ develop mechanisms to mobilise forest actors
(need to increase sustainable exploitation of resources)
• Develop demo. Projects for cost effective supply of wood
