Project description

The BalticBiomass4Value project aims to enhance the capacity of public and private actors in the Baltic Sea region to produce bioenergy in an environmentally sustainable and economically viable manner. Addressing both the economic feasibility of biomass use and its environmental impact on biodiversity and soil fertility, the project focuses on developing good practice models for small and medium-sized enterprises. These models are based on a comprehensive mapping of the region’s biomass resources, conversion technologies, and value chains, alongside an analysis of future market trends. By fostering collaboration between academic and research institutions and businesses, BalticBiomass4Value facilitates knowledge and technology transfer, strengthening innovation and competitiveness in the bioenergy sector. Through its efforts, the project contributes to a more sustainable bioeconomy in the Baltic Sea region, ensuring that bioenergy production aligns with environmental and economic priorities while promoting regional cooperation and sustainable resource use.
