Abstract
The aims of this country report are:
(1) To identify new industries in the Netherlands where biomass is used as an energy
carrier, or has the potential to be used in the future, and to describe which drivers,
bottlenecks and opportunities these sectors see for the (increased) use of biomass;
(2) To analyse bioenergy trends and reasons for change in the Netherlands and point
out barriers & opportunities for trade,
By ‘new industries’ we do mean industries which are normally not directly associated with
bioenergy. Examples of ‘new industries are: metal (e.g. steel, silicon carbide), cement, food
processing and construction (brick producing) industries. The forestry, pulp & paper and the
energy sectors should be excluded –they are ‘classic’ bioenergy users, and are in other parts of
the EUBIONETIII project. Also, the agricultural production sector (including farmers, pig & poultry
producers, greenhouse cultivation, and aviculture as suggested by EUBIONETIII partners) are
excluded. However, use of biomass in the food-processing industries (e.g. processing table olives,
cocoa, coffee, meat) are included.
