| 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.

23-24 May 2022 – e-Workshop organized by IEA Bioenergy, in collaboration with the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) and the Biofuture Platform Bioenergy – a critical part of the path to carbon neutrality The triennial conference (29 November – 9 December 2021) was held in a series of online sessions. The central theme was the role of biomass in the transition to a carbon neutral society. Task 40 was represented with presentations and moderation in 4 sessions, see the recordings and presentations in detail below:

Carbon accounting in Bio-CCUS supply chains – identifying key issues for science and policy Task 40 leads the intertask project “Deployment of Bio-CCS/CCU Value Chains” and as a result this report was published in February 2022 as contribution of IEA Bioenergy Task 40/45. More case studies and reports available here. Renewable gas ‐ deployment, markets and sustainable trade The main objective of the project was to enable more deployment of renewable gases and to underpin their sustainability. It was carried out in collaboration with IEA Hydrogen, EC DG ENER and industrial partners, and was completed in March 2022. Click here to view the project and results. Task 41 Special Project report Renewable Gases – Hydrogen in the Grid January 2022 The project’s objective is to carry out a thorough study on renewable gases (RG) and the effect of hydrogen (H2) addition in the gas grid as well as applications at increased concentrations up to 100%.
