Bio-energy is a cost-effective renewable energy
source with a large economic potential. In the coming years bio-energy
will represent the largest share of renewable energy sources worldwide.
bio-energy is a carbon dioxide-neutral energy source since the amount
of carbon dioxide that is captured during the growth of biomass
is equal to the emission of carbon dioxide during the conversion
process.
bio-energy
can be produced with specially grown crops, but in the short term
organic residues are the most cost-effective biomass sources. For
instance residues of forestry, of agriculture and of the food industry.
With biomass we can produce various energy carriers, such as electricity,
heat, and liquid and gaseous fuels.
Ecofys offers
a complete range of bio-energy related services, covering most relevant
bio-energy technologies. Our services cover all project phases,
from quick scans to project implementation. Furthermore Ecofys carries
out strategic studies for authorities, industries and farmers
that own biomass, want to use bio-energy or market their bio-energy
technologies.
