Booming Biomass
• Biomass is global business
• Large opportunities for new activities in the field of biomass
• Must not be at the expense of other important values for nature, environment and society
• European biomass demand will exceed domestic production
![Page 6: 20151027 Better Biomass workshop Brussels](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042600/58ec89661a28abfe7f8b4619/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Better Biomass certification system
• For solid, liquid and gaseous biomass chains
• Electricity, heating, transport fuel and bio-based products
• Operational since early 2011
• Accreditation by RvA (EA, IAF member)
• European recognition for RED: 31 July 2012
• Harmonized with international standards (CEN & ISO)
