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 Europe
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
Contributing to the EU Green Deal
The deployment of low-ILUC risk biomass value chains enables practices and solutions that foster the achievement of the European Green Deal objectives.
- Green Deal target
- BIKE contribution
