IEA Bioenergy Task 44 provides answers to these and similar questions, especially in relation to a circular bioeconomy and the energy transition.

IEA Bioenergy Task 37: Energy from Biogas (Working Period 2025 - 2027)

Anaerobic digestion systems are an important component in waste and wastewater management as well as in agriculture. The state of the art of the technologies and the development of the sector vary greatly internationally. The main topics of the exchange of experience in task 37 are Co-benefits of biogas in the circular economy, framework conditions for digestate utilization, monitoring of microbial cultures in biogas plants, and comparison of economic framework conditions.

IEA Bioenergy Task 33: Gasification of biogenic and waste feedstocks for a sustainable future (Working Period 2025 - 2027)

Thermal gasification will be crucial for the energy transition. Austria’s participation in the project strengthens the exchange of information and networking between stakeholders. This ensures that Austrian actors are regularly informed about gasification activities in other member countries. In the task workshops, they can also present their own research and industry projects and benefit from international knowledge sharing.

IEA Bioenergy Task 37: Energy from Biogas (Working Period 2019 - 2021)

Aim of Task 37 is to accelerate development and progress of biogas technology in the member countries. During the working period 2019-2021 the focus lies on the ecologically and economically sound implementation of biogas technology in agricultural and industrial processes.

IEA Bioenergy Task 42: Biorefining in a Circular Economy (Working Period 2019-2021)

Biorefineries can provide a wide range of products such as energy, fuels, chemicals, food, feed and materials based on renewable resources. In this project, relevant information on biorefineries regarding technologies and biobased products will be compiled at international expert level and results on an ecological and economic assessment of selected biorefineries will be provided.

IEA Bioenergy: Understanding Indirect Land-Use Change (ILUC) and Why Reality is a Special Case

28. June 2023
Online, AT

Indirect Land-Use Change (ILUC) refers to the phenomenon where changes in land use for one purpose, such as the cultivation of crops for biofuels, can indirectly impact land use and environmental conditions elsewhere. Specifically, ILUC explores the potential effects of increasing demand for bioenergy crops on global agricultural land use patterns, deforestation rates, and greenhouse gas emissions. IEA Bioenergy invites you to participate in this free international webinar.
