Bioenergy success stories in Austria
Success factors
■ Oil price shock 1973
■ R&D in bioheat and transport
biofuels & successful market
launch
■ Tradition in “bioheat”, top class
innovations, competitiveness
■ Policy framework
■ Early “oilseeds for food, feed and
fuel programme”
■ The attitude of the Austrians
■ Strong lobbying, eg the Austrian
Biomass Association
Brisbane, 14 Nov. 2016 Slide 13
Austria: successfull bioenergy development after the energy crisis in 1973
Successfull forestry based bioeconomy
■ Annual growth of forest biomass 30 mio. m3
■ Annual harvest
■ 1971-1980 approx. 14,5 mio. m3/a
■ 2007-2009 approx. 26 mio. m3/a
■ In 2011 the same volume like the one harvested in
Austria´s forests was used for energy (half of it in the
value chains, 18 % of it in the wood processing industry)
■ Success factors:
■ Framework conditions
■ Cooperation and competitiveness
■ State of the Technology

www.bereal-project.eu/
Bioenergy2020+´s approach since 2007:
■ Cause studies and basic research,
■ Elaboration of technical solutions including training
materials for professionals
■ Cooperation with standardization organizations, agencies,
professionals in the pellet supply chain*
■ E.g. ISO TC 238 WG 7 – 5 Suggestions for new standards
■ Ongoing work on characterisation of pellet store emissions
Preventing (deadly) accidents in pellet stores
