The report details the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of various bioenergy technologies, such as anaerobic digestion, biomass combustion, gasification, pyrolysis, hydrothermal processing, and torrefaction.
The report provides comprehensive data on the growth of biogas and biomethane production in the EU, illustrating significant increases in production capacity and the number of new plants. These metrics highlight the rapid development and scaling of bioenergy projects within the EU.
The report includes detailed information on public and private funding for bioenergy research and development (R&D). The report also discusses the role of various funding agencies and programmes. The report highlights the volatility in private R&D funding and the disparity in investment stages between the EU and the US, providing a nuanced understanding of the funding landscape.
The report also delves into the economic indicators essential for understanding the sector's impact on the broader EU economy.
