Renewable Energy in Belgium Bio Energy Biofuels Biomass & education Future
Green certificates
biomass
+ everywhere, easy handling, stock + Renewable + (used) plant oils animal fat Variable cost Versatile in form, size Ligno-cellulose complex = strong natural bounds, sugars not easy to release !!!
biomass
Multiple and divers applications Bio-energy : power & heat Biofuels Biomaterials, -chemicals

Knowledge and expertise are present but insufficient translation of knowledge into industrial innovation. Not enough value creation on scientific results NEED FOR A MULTIPURPOSE PILOT PLANT FOR BIOBASED PRODUCTS
The transition from an economy based on fossil resources to a biobased economy based on renewable resources states two problems
Gap in the innovation chain. Need for a multipurpose pilot plant for biobased products and processes
Lack of process operators for biobased industries. Need for a dedicated training facility for process operators in biobased industries
Biomass Future
Need on more integrated approach
Knowlegde of education & training on all levels
Technical & scientific on all disciplines : agro, forest, food and feed, chemical and industrial use
Biorefinery concept
5 F Biorefinery cascade
High Added value chain
Eco-pyramide
Biomass out of agriculture and forest to be used as multifunctional feedstock (green biotechnology) Biorefinery of biomass by industrial biotechnology. Integrated use of biomass into different products Bioproducts, materials, chemicals, plastics, fuels Need for skill and expercienced knowledge on each level trough apdated and special eduction & training programs
Conclusion
Biomass has a bright future towards a bio based economy with a multiple use as food, feed, fibre, fuel and fertilizer Urgent need on skill and trained manpower on all levels to move this transition forward
