Bioenergy

Biomass and biofuels help to lower the EU's external energy dependence and contribute to reducing greenhouse emissions.

Biomass

Biomass is an important source of renewable energy in the EU derived from organic material.

Biofuels

Produced in a sustainable way, biofuels provide a renewable alternative to fossil fuels in the transport sector.

Voluntary schemes

Voluntary schemes and national schemes of EU countries certify whether biofuels comply with the EU’s sustainability criteria.

Biomethane

Within the REPowerEU plan, the EU has proposed actions to upscale the production of biogas and biomethane sustainably.
