Among renewable energies, bio-energy generated from different types of \u201cbiomass\u201d has a big potential. In 2005, the EU approved its Biomass Action Plan (BAP) and invited the Member States to adopt national BAPs. OBJECTIVES- The BIO-EN-AREA project is a mini-programme aimed at exchanging and transferring experiences in order to increase the capacities of EU regions to favour and optimize the use of bio-energy. The whole project&#8217;s activities are dedicated to this objective, focusing on the elaboration of Regional BAPs. PARTNERSHIP- The partnership is a mix of more and less experienced partners in bio-energy, from South, Central and North Europe, involving The Regional Entity of the Energy of Castilla y L\u00e9on (Spain), Lead partner, and The Region of Western Macedonia (Greece) in South Europe, The Autonomous Province of Trento (Italy) and The Self-governing Region of Kosice (Slovakia) in Central Europe, The South-East Regional Authority of Ireland, The Regional Energy Agency of South-East Sweden and The Tartu Regional Energy Agency in South Estonia, in North Europe. ACTIVITIES- In component 3, partners share experiences on policy issues at regional level. Key-events will be 3 thematic seminars on the development of bio-energy from 1) forest &#038; wood biomass, 2) energy crops, agricultural by-products &#038; livestock wastes biomass, 3) urban waste biomass. In component 4, participants in sub-projects share experiences on good practices for bio-energy development at local level, transfer methodologies relating to promising practices, develop new approaches for bio-energy planning at territorial level. Communication is a major activity, with the EU regions and bio-energy stakeholders as main target, and the project\u2019s website, a semi-annual newsletter and open seminars and conferences as main communication tools. OUTPUTS- The main synthetic outputs will be 5 draft Regional BAPs elaborated by PAT Trento, SRG Kosice, Western Macedonia, SE Sweden and South Estonia, and 2 BAP Implementation guidelines by SERA Ireland, and EREN Castilla y L\u00e9on. A good practices database will be accessible on-line. The final publication will show the results of the exchange and transfer of experience among partners on public policy issues at regional level, and among participants in sub-projects.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":56,"template":"","areas":[],"funding-programs":[212],"main-tomeas-ris":[524],"is-eu-project":[521],"is-ris-project":[512],"ppma_author":[118],"class_list":["post-14922","project","type-project","status-publish","hentry","funding-programs-2007-2013-interreg-ivc","main-tomeas-ris-perivallon-kai-kykliki-oikonomia","is-eu-project-nai","is-ris-project-nai"],"toolset-meta":{"field-group-for-erga":[],"erga":{"unique_id_ergou":{"type":"numeric","raw":"6553"},"total-budget":{"type":"numeric","raw":""},"budget-for-western-macedonia":{"type":"numeric","raw":""},"budget-string":{"type":"textfield","raw":"3.160.000"},"budget-string-for-western-macedonia":{"type":"textfield","raw":"0"},"project-website":{"type":"url","raw":""},"acronym":{"type":"textfield","raw":"BIO-EN-AREA"},"mis-code":{"type":"textfield","raw":"6553"},"entry-date":{"type":"date","raw":"1262304000","formatted":"January 1, 2010"},"ending-date":{"type":"date","raw":"1372550400","formatted":"June 30, 2013"},"comments":{"type":"textarea","raw":""},"project_bodies_non_registered_in_platform":{"type":"textarea","raw":""},"user-contribution":{"type":"checkbox","raw":""}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/14922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/56"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"areas","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/areas?post=14922"},{"taxonomy":"funding-programs","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/funding-programs?post=14922"},{"taxonomy":"main-tomeas-ris","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/main-tomeas-ris?post=14922"},{"taxonomy":"is-eu-project","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/is-eu-project?post=14922"},{"taxonomy":"is-ris-project","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/is-ris-project?post=14922"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.pta.pdm.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=14922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
