🔥Fire season is back🔥
Do we react when flames hit or prevent earlier?
“Fuel the solution, not the fire” features stories from Attica, Tuscany & Catalonia to show what works before the fire starts.
Film premieres today at EP (MEP @S_Arnaoutoglou)
#FuelTheSolution #Wildfires
🤡 Do you want to play a game? Spooky season is here!
👻 Look at this dark, eerie alley. What can you see in the picture?
Pick your answer and write it in the comments below! And don't look it up. See you Thursday for the right answer!
#BioenergyFacts #RenewableHeat
The European #bioeconomy is already delivering.
Like in the two #bioenergy stories in @EUBA's brochure:
🌱 TEAPOTS, Greece: agricultural residues turned into biochar & #RenewableEnergy
🏫 @ParcoNordMilano: a 2 MW woodchip heating plant replacing gas.
👉 bioeconomyalliance.eu/news/e…
🇦🇹 What can local wood do for district heating?
In Lower #Austria, EVN Wärme is expanding renewable #DistrictHeating with four biomass plants built by @PolyTechEnergy in #Ernsthofen, #Waidhofen an der Thaya, #Himberg and #Spillern.

How can the #gypsum industry move away from fossil fuels while keeping reliable #IndustrialHeat?
Our new brochure, developed with @Eurogypsum1 explores how solid #biomass can provide a practical pathway, with technologies already available today.
👉 bioenergyeurope.org/an-alter…
🇦🇹 What happens when solar PV, wood pellets and AI work together?
The #Solarpellet project by Zellhofer Engineering GmbH is exploring just that, showing how #renewables can complement each other in a smarter, more flexible energy system.

🕵️#Bioenergy trivia is back!
🔎What is in the picture?
✅Choose an option and tell us why in the comments!
🐶Win 3 hours of renewable heat for an animal shelter
#Agrobiomass experts, this one is for you! @AVEBIOM @AgroBioTech @agrofossilfree @lowcarbonagri
Prize value may vary

0%c. Cashew nut shell
0%d. Mummified mouse kidney
0 votes • Final results🔍 The answer: a cashew nut shell
Thanks to all the agrobiomass experts who took part
#Agrobiomass represented roughly 16% of total #bioenergy production in 2023, with significant potential to grow.
What other agrobiomass feedstocks could be used for bioenergy? 👇

🇦🇹 Yesterday was Austria’s #BioenergyDay
In #Dornbirn, EnergieWerk Ilg captures biogenic CO₂ from its wood-fired power plant, producing tonnes of bioCO₂ for other industries.
🌱 #bioenergy connecting #renewableenergy, industry & carbon use

🇦🇹 Today is #Austria’s #BioenergyDay!
From today, Austria could cover its energy needs with bioenergy for the rest of the year.
And what does that look like in practice?
🍅Tomatoes grown with biogenic CO₂

🌍 Cutting emissions is essential. But climate neutrality will also require permanent carbon removals.
BioCCS and biochar can store biogenic carbon while sustainable bioenergy continues replacing fossil fuels.

🏠 Decarbonising #buildings also means decarbonising heat.
Bioenergy already supplies 81% of EU renewable heat, with modern biomass heating and district heating offering alternatives to fossil fuels, especially where electrification is harder. 👉 f.mtr.cool/557hca0cwe

♻️ A circular bioeconomy makes the most of renewable resources.
From sawmill residues to agricultural side streams, bioenergy can turn by-products into renewable heat and power while supporting stronger European value chains.👉 f.mtr.cool/bs0xhcb7nf
#Bioeconomy #CircularEconomy
Agricultural residues and energy crops can provide renewable energy, reduce fossil fuel use and create value for rural economies.

“It’s only a leak. We shouldn’t comment.”
But the leaked draft Impact Assessment for the EU’s post-2030 #RenewableEnergy framework could affect how Europeans heat their homes, run businesses and pay for energy.
Our SG @JMJossart explains why we should talk about it. 🧵
🔹 A biomass cap could affect the affordability of #RenewableHeating.
🔹 Not every home, industry or region can electrify in the same way.
🔹 Europe needs to use its sustainable domestic renewable resources to strengthen #EnergySecurity
🔹 Policy must work in practice.
The draft is not final. That’s precisely why now is the time to question its direction and make sure the next #RED works for Europeans.

Europe’s energy independence will require more than electrons ⚡🌱
In her #StateOfTheUnion address, President von der Leyen highlighted a key challenge: Europe cannot remain competitive while relying on volatile imported fossil fuels.
The future is not about choosing between electrons and renewable molecules. It is about building an integrated energy system where every technology contributes where it delivers the most value.
Europe’s #EnergyIndependence means reducing our reliance on imported fossil fuels and building a more resilient energy system.
