IEA Bioenergy Tasks 42: Biorefining in the circular economy (Working Period 2025 - 2027)
Biorefineries are sustainable production technologies for the process-integrated manufacturing of a wide range of products, such as food, animal feed, materials, fuels, chemicals and energy from renewable resources. For the transformation of industry biorefinery technologies are making an essential contribution to the implementation of a circular economy and climate protection. The task aims to promote the commercialisation and market launch of biorefinery technologies.
IEA Bioenergy Task 32: Biomass Combustion (Working Period 2025 - 2027)

This project provides technology overviews of decentralized pyrolysis plants and case studies on co-production of green gas and biochar as well as integration into bioenergy systems.
IEA Bioenergy Task 40: Deployment of biobased value chains (Working period 2022 - 2024)
Bioenergy Task 40 traditionally focused on international trade and supply chains of biomass for bioenergy. Starting in 2018, the systems view was broadened, also to better meet Austrian requirements. The supply chain focus was maintained, but with a broader premise: The establishment of bio-based value chains for a sustainable and fair bioeconomy.
IEA Bioenergy Task 39: Biofuels to Decarbonize Transport (Working period 2022 - 2024)
The overall goal of Task 39 is to facilitate the commercialization of biogenic, sustainable, low-carbon transportation fuels. This includes conventional and advanced biofuels produced through various technological routes such as oleochemical, biochemical, thermochemical, and hybrid conversion technologies. The main goal is to accelerate the decarbonization of the transportation sector, with an increasing focus on long-distance transport, which is more difficult to electrify.
IEA Bioenergy Task 32: Biomass Combustion (Working Period 2022 - 2024)
Biomass combustion is an important technology for providing renewable energy worldwide. Almost half of the EU's energy consumption is used for heat, which, among other technologies, can be provided by biomass combustion in a climate-friendly manner. It is therefore a key technology for achieving national and international climate and energy goals. This project shall ensure the exchange of information on relevant topics in order to support the success of Austrian actors from industry and research.
IEA Bioenergy Task 33: Gasification of Biomass and Waste (Working Period 2022 - 2024)
The aim of Task 33 is to exchange information on the production and utilization of renewable gas from biomass and waste for the production of power, heat, biofuels and biochemicals. Especially the information exchange about R&D programs, implementation and possible markets is taken into account, to remove technical and non-technical barriers.
IEA Bioenergy Task 37: Energy from Biogas (Working Period 2022 - 2024)
