The IEE-funded project EUBIONET III, started in 2008 and ended in 2011, aimed to increase the use of biomass-based fuels in the EU by finding ways to overcome market barriers with the following tasks:

• Analyse of national biomass programmes and biomass fuel potentials, especially with a view to different industrial residues and to agro-biomass
• Promotion of the international biomass fuel trade, analyse of price mechanisms and proposition of new CN codes for biomass fuels
• Development of certification and sustainability criteria for biomass fuels in co-operation with market actors
• Support of the implementation of new CEN standards for solid biofuels
• Promotion of bioenergy use by raising awareness on the topic of biomass heating and cooling
• Assessment of the appropriate use of biomass resources by analysing raw material availability within and between the bioenergy, forestry and agricultural sector
