Opportunities for ICT in the Biomass sector
Overview of the main benefits of applying ICT technologies in the biomass sector.
Overview of the main benefits of applying ICT technologies in the biomass sector.
ICT-BIOCHAIN has established two Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) focused on biomass supply-chains.
These are the first of its kind DIHs for the bio-based sector, bringing together established Model Demonstrator Regions and linking biomass suppliers and bio-industry with digital technology experts and other multi-actors (agribusinesses, entrepreneurs, academia, local authorities) to leverage the opportunities of the “digital bioeconomy”.
The ICT-BIOCHAIN project has held different events as a way to mobilise the Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) and engage stakeholders, making the most out of this initiative.
These events and the best practices learned from them are presented next as a suggestion of potential activities to be conducted.
Train-the-trainer webinar held on April 2, 2020, where ICT-BIOCHAIN and STAR-ProBio presented the tools they developed to enhance efficiency in the biomass supply chain and sustainability in the bio-based industry respectively.
Challenges to be addressed in Biomass Availability, Quality, Supply and Sustainability, projects’ main results, gaps to be bridged and recommendations.
The S2Biom project supported the sustainable delivery of non-food biomass feedstock at local, regional and pan European level through developing harmonised data sets, strategies, and roadmaps at local, regional, national and pan European level for EU28, Western Balkans, Ukraine, Moldova and Turkey. The project improved scientific evidence on the availability, cost supply, technologies and framework conditions (policy, financing, sustainability) for lignocellulosic non-food biomass by 2030.
The aim of this S2Biom paper is to give a state-of-the-art overview about various studies which investigated the present and potential sustainable supply of non-food biomass in the EU.

This S2Biom report presents an integrated assessment of biomass supply chains and conversion routes, for energy as well as chemicals and materials, under different scenarios. It builds on various databases created in S2Biom and on the ECN’s RESolve Biomass model.

This S2Biom report describes policy guidelines and exemplary policy options allowing policy makers from the respective levels to quickly appreciate potential support frameworks that exist and efficient ways to apply them to mobilize sustainable biomass resources for different market sectors of the bio-based economy.

This S2Biom report provides an overall summary as well as three individual case studies to match optimal logistical concepts (conceptual designs) with the specific regional situation:
Data on biomass availability and demand and quality specifications of the conversion technology have been used in combination with data on logistical components and concepts to provide guidelines for the case study partners to construct relevant regional cases. These advanced regional case studies can serve as example for other regions in the EU-27.
