WG3: Strategies & frameworks
One of the objectives of the project is to propose appropriate long-term strategies and support frameworks which can form a basis for a balanced approach between promoting the use of domestic biomass, while also keeping markets open for sustainable imports of biomass.
Specific focus of WG3:
- EU level and EU Member States’ policies affecting lignocellulosic biomass trade
- Sustainability concerns in importing and sourcing regions
- Strategies and policies in sourcing regions (1) in relation to biomass trade, (2) to ensure sustainable production of biomass, (3) to promote domestic biomass use (energy or other applications)
- Opportunities and barriers for international biomass trade
- Key principles for sustainable trade
- Long-term strategies and support frameworks in relation to biomass trade
