This report was issued on behalf of IEA Bioenergy Task 42. It provides an overview of various fiber sources, their properties and their relevance in biorefineries. Their status in the scientific literature and market aspects are discussed. The report provides information for a broader audience about opportunities to sustainably add value to biorefineries by considering […]

This document contains the report of the IEA Bioenergy Executive Committee for 2017. This year, we have presented a special feature ‘BIO-CCS and Bio-CCUS in climate change mitigation and […]
read moreOne promising way to accelerate the market implementation of integrated biorefineries is to promote small (regional) biorefinery initiatives. Small-scale biorefineries require relatively low initial investments, and therefore are often lacking the financing problems that larger facilities face (new technologies with often complicated business cases making it difficult to get proper financing conditions). They are potentially […]
