During the past years a relatively large number of Nordic bioenergy projects have been implemented. The results of these projects are highly relevant for mapping and understanding the consequences of an expanding Nordic bioenergy market. One of the aims of this project is to collect information about and results from implemented bioenergy projects so that this can form a basis for the development of future projects and initiatives.


The following list is a work in progress. We welcome all suggestions and information concerning projects, initiatives and results that should be included in this list.

A common nordic platform for research collaboration in the field of bioenergy. The project, involving, Chalmers University of Technology (SE), NTNU (NO), Technical University of Denmark (DK), supported several PhD studies, held a number of specialised workshops and promoted the increased coordination of research efforts and mobility.

The project aimed to establish scenarios on how climate change will affect renewable energy sources. Part of the project was aimed at making initial attempts at calculating how climate change could affect the future production of biofuels in agriculture in the Nordic and Baltic region.

Investigatation of the current and potential use of bioenergy, identification of needs for future research and barriers for the sustainable use of biomass.

Research on biogas purification technologies. Innovation project supported by the Nordic Innovation Centre.

Establishing and operating a network for information exchange and communication between organisations in the Baltic Sea Region in the field of bioenergy standardisation.

Elaboration of regional - sector based baselines for JI bioenergy projects. The project was jointly implemented by the Nordic Council of Ministers´ Climate Group and the Baltic Sea Region Energy Cooperation (BASREC).

Improving and facilitating information exchange in the field of bioenergy. The project, which focused on increasing information exchange in the areas of bioenergy research, development, demonstration and innovation, was implemented by the Baltic Sea Region Energy Cooperation (BASREC) and Nordic Energy Research with the support of the Nordic Council of Ministers.

The project aimed to promote synergies between several on-gong projects. This one year project created a cooperation between the EU bioenergy projects RecAsh and Wood-En-Man and the Nordic/Baltic Sea Region project Bio 2003-2005 Energy.

A continuation of the Wood-En-Man project with the aim of developing tools for decision making. The project was aimed to aid forest owners in the Baltic Sea Region to assess various factors influencing wood-based bioenergy production.

Elaboration of scientific recommendations for dealing with the eiffects of bomass combustion emissions. The project "Abatement strategies for air pollution and health effects from locally emitted and transnationally transported biomass combustion aerosols (NORDAIR-BIOS)" , financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers, provided guidelines and identified knowledge gaps.
