Task 44 Workshop: Flexible bioenergy and system integration

Session organized by IEA Bioenergy Task 44 at the Central European Biomass Conference (CEBC2020).

Bioenergy is a storable and versatile source of renewable energy that could be an important part of the solution in the energy transition. Task 44 “Flexible bioenergy and system integration” is a new activity within IEA Bioenergy. It pursues to develop and analyse biomass-based solutions that can provide flexible resources for a low-carbon energy system. Task 44 is supported by national team leaders from Austria, Australia, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the US.

Programme:

Chairs: Ernst Höftberger, BEST Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies GmbH, Austria & Daniela Thrän, DBFZ Deutsches Biomasseforschungszentrum und gemeinnützige GmbH, Germany
