European Technology and Innovation Platform Bioenergy (ETIP Bioenergy) Terms of Reference

In September 2016, the European Biofuels Technology Platform (ETIP) became the European Technology and Innovation Platform Bioenergy (ETIP Bioenergy). The EC-funded project in support of EBTP activities, EBTP-SABS, ended on 31 August 2016.

With the move to ETIP Bioenergy, the focus of the platform's activities will not only broaden to innovative bioenergy in general, in addition: representatives of new stakeholder groups such as the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) and the biomass panel of the Renewable Heating and Cooling ETIP will join the Steering Committee; the European Industrial Bioenergy Initiative (EIBI) of the SET-Plan will be integrated into ETIP activities; EU Member State experts will become actively involved in the Advisory Board of ETIP Bioenergy.

This should allow more cooperative discussions with the Member States where strategic advice will be delivered by the ETIP Bioenergy. The new Terms of Reference of ETIP Bioenergy describe the scope, objectives and structure in more detail.
