Deployment of biobased value chains
 
Welcome to the website of Task 40, IEA Bioenergy.

IEA Bioenergy Task 40: Deployment of biobased value chains (in the triennium 2016-2018 known as ‘Sustainable biomass markets and international bioenergy trade to support the biobased economy’), commonly abbreviated Task 40, was established under the International Energy Agency (IEA) Bioenergy Implementing Agreement in December 2003 with the aim of focusing on international bioenergy technology potential, barriers, and trade as well as its wider implications.

IEA Bioenergy Task 40 Webinar

16 June 2020

Recorded version:

“Deployment of Bioenergy combined with Carbon Capture and Storage or Utilisation (BECCS/U)”

PresentationThis webinar introduces the new report- see Publications.

 

“Deployment of bio-CCS: case studies”

Task 40 leads the intertaks project “Deployment of Bio-CCS/CCU Value Chains” and as a result three case studies provide detailed insights into key issues for companies in the process of building capture value chains.
