Objectives of this Key Action

• To promote substantial increases in integrated production of solid, liquid and gaseous bioenergy sources for energy applications within the EU and to address the challenges associated with introduction of such major new bio-businesses at regional level within a limited timeframe.
• To provide a European framework (IEE projects) within which public authorities and business interests can take the initiative to develop and transfer experience with preplanning large-scale integrated bioenergy production at regional level, with the aim of achieving major increases in bioenergy supplies while maintaining biodiversity and suitably balanced production of bioresources (for electricity, heating/cooling, biofuels and other commercial applications).
• To stimulate establishment at regional level of long-term business agreements and commitments to invest in bioenergy supplies, including large-scale planting, managing the growth and harvesting of crops and forestry, fuel processing (including chemical manufacturing) and distribution and possibly also user groups (such as fleet and/or public transport operators).
