BalticBiomass4Value
Biomass as a resource
The economic viability of using biomass for energy and environmental questions, related to e.g. biodiversity and soil fertility, need to be considered. The project BalticBiomass4Value therefore enhances the capacity of public and private actors within the Baltic Sea region to produce bioenergy in a more environmentally sustainable and economically viable way.
New knowledge and technology transfer services
BalticBiomass4Value develops good practice models for small and medium sized enterprises in producing bioenergy and integrated side bio-products in the Baltic Sea region. The models are based on the current mapping of the region’s biomass resources, conversion technologies and value chains, as well as the outlook of the future market.
Public authorities receive training scheme and guidelines on how to improve the regional and local support systems for circular bioeconomy implementation.
Last but not least, BalticBiomass4Value fosters links among academic and research institutions and businesses around the Baltic Sea to facilitate knowledge and technology transfer.

Highlights by mid-term
The project partners increased their knowledge on market outlook and future viability of different bioenergy products in the Baltic Sea region energy system as well as on biomass and technological potential to improve sustainable bioenergy use in the region.
This was inter alia achieved by identifying 12 good practice business models for sustainable bioenergy and side bio-products production in the region. These business models demonstrated an environmentally sustainable and economically viable ways to use new biomass sources (mainly biological waste) for energy production and possibilities to use bioenergy side streams for higher value bio-products.
The business models are manifold and range from the production of plastic-free products made from coffee ground to hemp-plant based cosmetics or sustainable fuels for district heating.
Further, the consortium has started to implement a consultation programme for enterprises interested in sustainable biomass utilisation for energy purposes and/or the production of higher value novel bio-based products.
