About the Working Group

The Working Group Biopower & CHP was established in 2017 in order to promote the Biopower sector (Power-only & CHP). Biopower has great potential and an important role to play in the development of the EU’s energy system with an increasing share of renewables. The WG offers the possibility to exchange and aims at defining Bioenergy Europe’s position on power related policies. These include the recent Market Design Initiative as well as biopower related issues under the new Renewable Energy Directive. The Working Group is open to all Bioenergy Europe members interested and willing to exchange on biopower.

Experts and industry representatives gathered to discuss key issues related to the implementation of the sustainability criteria, including the specific provisions related to biopower. Among the other topics, members were presented with the Clean Planet for All: the European Commission's Long Term Strategy as well as the outcomes of the the Internal Electricity Market Design Regulation. Finally, an overview of the 2019 advocacy and communications activities were presented, including the presentation of the recently published factsheet on Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage.
