Abstract:
The main objective of the Intelligent Energy Europe Project “BEn” (Biomass energy register for sustainable site development for European regions), sponsored by Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation, is to support local communities energy planning trough the development of a regional energy register indicating local energy sinks as well as biomass potentials for energy production. Data collected will be displayed in a web based geographic information system. Moreover the project aims at the creation of regional biomass networks, which will collaborate to the project, and at the development of a master plan for sustainable bioenergy planning including guidance for management and financing biomass energy investment. Four model Regions have been selected for the project. The paper focuses on the first activities of this project, with particular attention to Italian partner work, Biomass Research Centre. Main tasks regard Umbria Region Register development and Umbria Bioenergy Network activities. CRB is collecting data on biomass use and availability in the territory and is implementing the register; the Network, coordinated by CRB, has selected a list of project regarding bioenergy actions development in the region; between these actions CRB will select two specific actions to implement during the project.
