Abstract:
Many South East European countries have high biomass potentials, but they are often not or only ineffi-ciently used for local energy supply and regional economic development. The objective of the BioVill project, funded by the EU´s Horizon2020 programme, is to support the development of regional bioenergy concepts and the establish-ment of “Bioenergy Villages” in Croatia, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia. This will be achieved by identi-fying suitable biomass value chains according to local and regional needs and transferring existing experiences in Aus-tria, Germany and other European countries to the South-Eastern European partners. Thereby the market uptake of domestic bioenergy supply chains will be increased and the role of locally produced biomass as a main source of energy supply and added value for the local and regional economy will be strengthened. The present paper introduces the project´s step-wise approach and presents its intermediate results and achievements, followed by a section addressing the transfer process, a core element of the project.
