Biomass Energy Europe – BEE

The objective of the BEE project is to harmonise biomass resource assessments, focusing on the availability of biomass for energy in Europe and its neighbouring countries. This harmonisation will improve consistency, accuracy and reliability of biomass assessments, which can serve the planning of a transition to renewable energy in the European Union. The major focus will be (1) on methodological and dataset harmonisations fostered by ongoing research of a multidisciplinary team of project participants and (2) on the opportunities of utilising both earth observation and terrestrial data for biomass assessments and the integration of multiple data sources. The relevant sectors that are investigated are forestry, energy crops and residues from traditional agriculture and waste.

The project will be carried out during 2008 - 2010.

BEE project is funded by the European Commission under the Framework Programme 7 within the "Energy Thematic Area" and contributes to "Harmonisation of biomass resource assessment" activities which focus on assessing and optimising the availability of biomass resources. GRANT AGREEMENT N° 213417
