Bioenergy

Context

Bioenergy is a common smart specialisation priority for several regions across the EU. In line with the EU goals, bioenergy represents about two-thirds of the renewable energy production in the European Union. The Thematic Smart Specialisation Partnership (TSSP) on bioenergy supports the creation of an interregional partnership for bioenergy and smart specialisation.

Year established: 2016

Mission

The partnership on Bioenergy between European regions opens new interregional collaboration between partners (public and private) and improves knowledge sharing. The network encourages to find common perspectives on regional development and to be active in the pursuit of international cooperation.

Objectives

The objective is to develop interregional cooperation, build strategic partnerships and promote sustainable development and innovations with bioenergy-related priorities, where the circular economy is a cross-cutting theme. Topics covered include: biomass, organic waste sidestreams, biogas, pellets, biochar, circular economy, as well as creating awareness and exchanging best practices.

Shared smart specialisation areas

Renewable energy solutions fostering self-sufficiency, Circular economy as the basis of sustainable growth
