European biomass success stories

Biomass heating alternatives have become of vital importance for, and a substantial part of, regional and sustainable development. Amongst others, biomass contributes to an independent and secure energy supply, economic growth and climate protection.

A lot of measures have been, and continue to be, carried out throughout Europe to promote the implementation and usage of biomass.

Energy systems of the future require appropriate energy mixes adapted to service both regional and local needs without challenging natural resources.

REGBIE+ stands for Regional Initiatives Increasing the Market for Biomass Heating in Europe. The project was launched in January 2007 to strengthen the regional uptake of biomass heating and involves 13 partners from 11 EU countries.
