EUBIA, the European Biomass Industry Association,
was registered in 1996 as an international non-profit association
in Brussels, Belgium. Its office is based nearby the European
institutions and its members are mainly from Europe and include
research and promotion centres, utilities, oil companies and
biomass-based technology, product and service companies. EUBIA
has started major international cooperation activities with
third countries, in particular China and Brazil. EUBIA is
a founding member of EREC, the European Renewable Energy Council,
which groups together all main European renewable energy industry
and research associations.
EUBIA, given that biomass will have an
important role to play in promoting sustainable development
world wide and the deployment of clean energies, strengthens
European policies in this sector, protecting industrial interest,
identifying new opportunities, promoting job creation and
better environment conditions. It promotes bioenergy activities
at small, medium and large scale in collaboration with local
authorities, agricultural organisations, local partners and
industries. It also promotes modern, efficient, environmentally
sound and commercial bioenergy schemes, technologies, products
and markets.
EUBIA’s main activities include:
• Small-scale activities are carried out to use bioenergy
(co-generation, biofuels, etc.) for decentralised areas, mainly
rural development inside and outside of Europe.
• Industrial schemes: Power generation plants, biodiesel,
bioethanol, bio-methanol, hydrogen plants, activated coal,
etc.
• Large-scale integration of bioenergy, bioethanol,
hydrogen, etc. to petrochemicals to improve traditional transportation
fuels (e.g.: a study for China reveals the best ways to produce
bioethanol to improve gasoline).
• Other activities include the promotion of education
and training activities in bioenergy, the promotion of innovative
concepts and technologies, and dissemi-nation on biomass systems.
