 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The overall concept of BioMob is the development of research-driven clusters for biomass-mobilisation. The project, built on the outputs of a previous Altener-funded project, has a strong business focus and its ultimate goal is to see knowledge-based enterprises grow and thrive in the biomass sectors. This will support the sustainable use of biomass and the meeting of regions' renewable energy targets. At a time of intense demand for renewable energy, real possibilities exist for the transformation of rural economies through the commercialisation of applied research in the mobilisation of biomass. The challenge is to identify appropriate synergies between rural regions, research themes and enterprise opportunity. The Biomob clusters, from DK, HU, BG and IRL, have widely varying biomass resources, levels of industrial development and research profiles. Biomob provides the opportunity for them to develop world-leading research outputs, in line with lead market principles. The work programme which will facilitate this includes specific actions for identifying the gaps between industrial demands and research capabilities, international benchmarking, regional action plans and JAP development, business plans for individual enterprises, development of regional funding proposals, the development of a replication model and an action to federate the clusters into the European Institute of Technology. Dissemination activities include 8 workshops, exchanges and mentoring activities, as well as brochures, CD-ROMs and a web site, which will remain for 2 years after project conclusion. The participants include the 13 partners, 4 regional user groups comprised of industry, research instates and development organisations, an international expert group and a European organisation for the promotion of the biomass industry.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

A European initiative has profiled biomass utilisation chains across Europe. Proposing solutions for upgrading mobilisation, the aim is to use biomass in a viable and sustainable alternative energy production sector.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

The term biomass refers to the renewable energy that originates from biological material such as plants, plant-derived material and manure. By-products from the wood-based industry, dedicated energy crops or biodegradable waste could be used for the production of biomass. Using combustion, gasification or pyrolysis, this biomass is then transformed into biofuels, heat or electricity and used for energy production purposes.

Employing a business focus, the EU-funded 'Biomass mobilisation' (BIOMOB) project aimed to identify opportunities for commercialisation of applied research into biomass mobilisation. For this purpose, the consortium needed to improve the transfer of knowledge from research institutions to companies.

An additional challenge was posed by the fact that although biomass is produced in rural areas, renewable energy research is usually undertaken in urban areas. To bridge this distance gap, BIOMOB partners also investigated means of mobilising the productive capacity of rural areas for biomass.

Regional challenges were therefore addressed by profiling the biomass resources in each region and identifying any regional shortcomings between resources and the research and technological development (RTD) capabilities. Results indicated that biomass energy production in certain European regions was hampered by poor awareness and low investment. Coupled with the subsidised costs of other energy sources, biomass renewable energy was often found to be economically unviable.

BIOMOB formulated recommendations that aimed to expand local biomass energy systems while establishing cooperations in energy production. Furthermore, technological and networking innovation processes were proposed depending on the distance between the biomass and the energy production networks.

Partners concentrated their efforts on three types of case studies that reflected the different organisations of biomass utilisation chains, namely one stakeholder, one link in a chain and cooperative biomass utilisation chains. The overall conclusion of the study was that successful and sustainable biomass utilisation chains were multifunctional in the use of land and biomassand were embedded in the local communities.

The under-development of biomass energy production observed was addressed through regional action plans that introduced biomass business strategies and incentive plans to generate investment opportunities in the sector.
