Activities
Main EU Legislative Proposals: There are no specific policies or targets tracked by the WBA. Our mandate is international advocacy and we concentrate our efforts predominantly in advocating for bioenergy solutions at international energy and climate forums. At the same time, the EU is an important player in the bioenergy space. As such, we keep track of legislations that may have an impact on the bioenergy sector. These include the EU Renewable Energy Directive (III), Fuel Quality Directive, EU Deforestation Regulation etc.
Communication Activities: Webinar: WBA organised a webinar in 2023 on the role of bioenergy in ensuring EU energy security. In this regard, the current critical role of bioenergy technologies in providing energy security and meeting socio economic conditions such as jobs, energy price and local economic development was highlighted in the webinar ‘Critical role of bioenergy in ensuring EU energy security’. The event was jointly hosted by World Bioenergy Association and Bioenergy International – the leading English trade publication of the sector.
Apart from the webinar, no other activity was specifically related to any EU policies.
