BTG works hand-in-hand with the industry to support the implementation of retrofitting technology, thereby increasing the share of renewable energy, stimulate innovation, create new jobs and contribute to economic development.
To meet the greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets set in the EU Fit-for-55 Package, the industry is actively searching for solutions which are both environmental and economic sustainable. In that way, bioenergy retrofitting is an attractive approach for the industry to meet the EU targets. In the BIOFIT project this approach was facilitated.
Retrofitting is the partly replacement of an existing facility or installation with state-of-the-art equipment. It is one of the fast and cost-effective ways to increase Europe’s renewable energy share by making the energy production of existing industries more sustainable.
BTG cooperated, amongst others, in ten different case studies that were concentrated in five industrial sectors. These case studies investigated the sustainability and techno-economic feasibility, as well as the framework conditions for successful bioenergy retrofitting. Now that the BIOFIT project is concluded, the results are summarised in our final report.
The BIOFIT project, supported by the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Union, aimed to facilitate the introduction of bioenergy retrofitting in European industries. It showed that that in many cases bioenergy retrofitting boosts sustainability and is economically viable.
