ARBOR wishes to accelerate the sustainable development and use of biomass in North West Europe, to facilitate the achievement of the EU 2020 energy objectives and to realise a world-class utilisation of biomass.

Background information

ARBOR is an Interreg IVB NWE project with 13 partners from 6 European regions dealing with the development of technological solutions and regional strategy development for improved sustainable biomass utilisation. The project is cofunded by local authorities from the United Kingdom, Flanders, Saarland, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, and Ireland.

ARBOR activities include

A state of the art analysis of biomass for bioenergy initiatives and projects in North West Europe
Pilot and demonstration actions on the use of agro-industrial side streams for bioenergy, industrial synergy parks, low-impact energy crops like short rotation coppice and biomass from marginal land
A market analysis of biomass equipment providers, manufacturers and investors in North West Europe
An up-to-date inventory and technology watch on biomass conversion technologies and side stream valorisation options
An analysis of the political and legal framework conditions on bioenergy utilisation in North West Europe
