Safe and reliable biomass value chains for sustainable biofuels and the bioeconomy

Enhancing soil health, enabling green resilience and climate neutrality by growing low ILUC risk biomass feedstock

BIKE is a Horizon 2020 project to support the market uptake of low ILUC risk feedstocks for biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels by providing:

Clear science-based information

For policy-makers and market operators

Sustainability assesment

Including a certification module for low ILUC risk biofuels

Guidelines and recommendations

to promote the replication of good practices across Europ

Value chain approach

BIKE adopts a value chain approach to assess four different case studies where low-ILUC risk feedstocks are grown following specific climate-positive practices

Empowering low ILUC risk biomass value chains for sustainable biofuels and the bioeconomy

BIKE is a new Horizon 2020 project to support the market uptake of safe and reliable biomass value chains, based on improved farming practices, as well as on the cultivation of crops on abandoned and degraded land, that can deliver food, feed, fuels and materials with low risk of generating indirect land use changes.
