Abstract
Objective of this workshop was to get a state of the art overview regarding biomass
trade and its related standardization issues; to bring together stakeholders of the
new industrial sectors which possibly could use biomass for energy. By new
industrial users we mean such sectors, which so far have not been so much
involved in bioenergy projects. These sectors will be identified during the project,
but could include for example metal and construction material industries, etc. Our
objective was also to obtain insights in current uses (including best practices),
barriers to further utilization in the European Union, and the importance of biomass
trade; to learn about success stories from market actors in these new industries
that utilize biomass for energy. The aim was also to get an overview why new
industries are aspiring to increase bioenergy utilization and which difficulties they
face in practise. Likewise, if industries choose not to utilize biomass as an energy
source, we would like to hear what are the main reasons for doing so. Biomass
trade was especially highlighted, as large amounts of biomass are often not
available at the place of demand, and thus trade may play a pivotal role in
increasing bioenergy use.
