New platform to know the availability of chip supply

According to Expobiomasa in its last bulletin, Bsis Bionergy has launched a SIG platform that reports the availability of the splinter supply. The platform aims to offer a global vision of the possibility of sustainable wood splinter supply and competition for this resource in the EurOpea Union. The idea is to advise the promoters of biomass plants on the availability and sustainability of this raw material.

To build the platform, data on production potential and large chip consumers have been collected (the database has brought together 3,000 references of power generation plants and thermal boilers above 1 MW, paper mills, board factories, pellet mills ). All of this has been georeferenced in an intuitive and easy-to-use GIS (Geographic Information Systems) application, which has been published for online consultation on December 3 on the project website

That same day, a workshop organized by AEBIOM was held in Brussels to discuss the principle of “cascading”, or pre-established prioritization of the uses of biomass, which bioenergy associations oppose, arguing that it should be the real market that establishes these usage priorities.

Business to Business
on the project website A B2B platform (Business to Business) is available, which aims to contact companies in the biomass sector throughout the Eur OPEA Union to increase its visibility internationally and thus increase its business. Interested companies can register for free here.
