The European Biomass Association is a non profit Brussels based international organisation whose mission is to represent bioenergy at EU level. Biomass refers to renewable energy coming from biological material such as trees, plants, manure, and sometimes waste. Using various transformation processes such as combustion, gasification, pyrolysis the biomass is either transformed into biofuels, bioheat or bioelectricity and used for energetic purposes. Energy Commissioner Piebalgs (left) receives the first copy of European Biomass Statistics 2007 from AEBIOM president Kopetz (right) Bioenergy statistics in the EU-27  European Biomass Association has published a comprehensive survey of bioenergy data in Europe including :  Biomass in the European energy system Land use and biomass potential in Europe Biomass for heat, electricity, transport biofuels and biogas Information on energy content, conversion efficiency and crop yields Read the press release here.
