European Biofuels Technology Platform

>>  The Εuropean Biofuels Technology Platform contributes to:

• the development of cost-competitive, world-class biofuels technology
• the creation of a healthy biofuels industry
•  the deployment of biofuels in the European Union

through a process of guidance, prioritisation and promotion of research, development and demonstration (RD&D).

>>  To this purpose and building on the findings of the Vision 2030 developed by the Biofuels Research AdvisoryCouncil (BIOFRAC), the following activities will be pursued:

• Elaborate a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) with detailed identification of key RD&D working lines for the next 10 years necessary to achieve the Vision 2030.
• Elaborate a Deployment Strategy which anticipates the key elements required to implement the SRA.
•  Identify on-going biofuels RD&D activities and players relevant to the Platform mission.
• Facilitate the deployment of the SRA by stimulating EU private and public investment in RD&D projects that make best use of all available support instruments.
•  Coordinate with other bodies and initiatives engaged in biofuels RD&D, including other EU Technology Platforms, Member State initiatives and international (ex-EU) cooperation.
• Communicate the outcome of the platform activities above in order to supporting the mission objectives.
