Abstract:
The ERANET Bioenergy has been active since 2004. The network of ministries and funding agencies from currently eight countries aims to significantly improve the costefficiency and costeffectiveness of national bioenergyrelated research and development, and to ensure maximum research impact from national bioenergy research programmes. Four joint calls with a total funding of about 15 M€ have been implemented so far, on biomass combustion, gasification, and energy crops. By way of these calls, ERANET Bioenergy strengthens national bioenergy research programmes by enhancing cooperation and coordination between the ministries/agencies. Through collaboration, the individual national programmes produce higherquality results, while through coordination, they complement each other, avoiding duplication. As the ECfunded period has ended, the consortium will continue with 8 countries, without external support for the time being.
