Resources
Biochar, wood pellets and wood chips are key components of Europe’s shift toward carbon-negative and fossil-free energy. Here we have gathered a few trusted sources for anyone who wants to explore the science, technology and policies behind the bioenergy transition.
European Biochar Industry Consortium (EBI)
EBI brings together biochar producers, researchers and policymakers across Europe. Their reports and certification guidelines are widely used references for quality standards, carbon accounting and sustainable production.
Bioenergy Europe
An industry association providing reliable data and annual statistics on wood pellets, biomass use and renewable heat across Europe. Their Pellet Report is a leading source for market trends and policy developments.
IEA Bioenergy – Task 34: Pyrolysis and biochar
A technical working group under the International Energy Agency, sharing research and case studies on biochar production, pyrolysis technologies and integration into renewable energy systems.
Biochar Europe
A European knowledge hub highlighting the role of biochar in carbon removal, soil improvement and industrial applications. Their annual European Biochar Market Report tracks production, demand and climate impact.
EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED III)
The core legislative framework driving renewable energy expansion in the EU. It defines the sustainability and certification criteria for biomass, pellets and other bio-based energy carriers.
Nordic BioPower actively follows developments in renewable energy, biochar certification and circular production technologies across Europe. We believe that transparent, science-based knowledge is essential to building a truly sustainable energy future.
