This webinar is part of a webinar series within the IEA Bioenergy Inter-task project Synergies of green hydrogen and bio-based value chains deployment. While the first webinar presented the status of technologies and highlighted selected case studies, this webinar covers the assessment of promising (synergy) value chains. This webinar highlights joint contributions from IEA Bioenergy […]
read moreProducing biobased hydrogen could be an alternative option for renewable hydrogen provision. Moreover, there are many biobased processes either high in demand for renewable hydrogen (e.g. synthetic renewable fuels, biorefining) or that could benefit from renewable hydrogen integration. This webinar shed light on promising biobased value chains that could deploy synergies between the hydrogen economy […]
read moreBioenergy is one of several ways to meet the needs for flexibility when variable energy sources like wind and solar make up an increasing share of the energy supply. Bioenergy for flexibility has several advantages. The energy is stored in the fuel, at low cost, and can be utilized whenever needed. The technical solutions are […]
read moreIncreasing shares of variable renewable energy (VRE) in the energy supply system create a demand for measures to provide flexibility at different time scales on a sustainable manner. At the same time, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has strengthened the demand for sustainable domestic resources to guarantee security of supply in Europe. Bioenergy has inherent […]

read moreThe global energy system transition is driven by steep reductions in the generation costs of wind and solar energy as well as political efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Growing shares of variable renewable energy (VRE) in the energy supply system poses concerns about guaranteeing an uninterrupted supply of electricity, balancing seasonal imbalances in supply […]
