ADEME participates in the work of AFB-Net via the European ALTENER programme. AFB-Net is funded by the Transport and Energy directorate, and involves 14 countries. The network's aims are to stimulate communication between the member countries and develop joint research in the field of solid biofuels.

The recent European White Paper highlighted biomass as a key resource to help reach the European renewable energy and environmental targets for 2010. If biomass is to achieve this target it will require co-operation of the key players in industry, R & D and energy authorities to support bioenergy penetration to energy markets.

The European bioenergy network, AFB-net, was established in 1995 to promote the utilisation of the biomass potential in Europe.

Actions in the AFB-net consists of :

l meeting,
l mini-training seminars,
l study tours and other events like biomass business missions
l evaluations to identify "success stories" of biomass production and utilisation
l dissemination of biomass knowledge and experience by AFB-net reports, newsletters and
 
  Internet-pages

 


Activities in 1999-2000


l Collaboration and co-operation with biomass industry and biomass centres in Europe
l Evaluation of international biomass trade and price comparison
l CHP from biomass, evaluation of potentials and exchange of experiences in combined heat
    and power production from biomass
l 100% Renewable energy communities, evaluation of key communities, identification of
    sucess indicators and promulgation of best practice approach
l Evaluation of several existing biomass cofiring plants in Europe and exchange of
   experience (Cofiring seminar organized by ITEBE, 14/15 sept 2000 in Grenoble)
