Improved logistics will help create a market for biomass feedstocks such as agricultural residues, forestry residues, and energy crops. In the three EU-funded projects INFRES, LogistEC and EuroPrunning, 63 organisations and companies, including many SME’s, collaborate to develop such smart logistics. 

They field-demonstrate practical solutions implemented in rural communities to harvest, store and transport lignocellulosic biomass for the production of bioenergy and biomaterials.

Further to developing technologies and adapting machines, the three projects also assess the environmental, economic and social sustainability of the proposed supply chains, as well as the barriers to innovation in the respective sectors. The one day conference will showcase key results from the three projects.
