Lithuania ranks as the sixth EU Member State in the 2025 edition of the European Bioenergy Day campaign, an annual initiative organized by Bioenergy Europe to highlight the growing importance of sustainable biomass in the energy mix of EU Member States.
September 30, 2025, marks Lithuania’s Bioenergy Day, a day earlier than in 2024, indicating that bioenergy could meet the country’s energy demands for 93 days or the remainder of the 2025 calendar year, based on Eurostat’s figures for 2024.
Bioenergy Europe’s annual campaign provides key facts on biomass and the bioenergy industry. It celebrates people, projects, and companies that contribute to achieving European carbon neutrality goals across transportation, industry, space heating, and power, while ensuring energy security.
Powered by Bioenergy Europe, the campaign is amplified by national and international partners who support the idea that bioenergy is more than just a renewable energy source—it is a reliable pathway to achieving Europe’s renewable energy transition.
In the case of Lithuania, which was also ranked fourth in 2024, renewable district heating plays a central role.
A key enabler of the transition from fossil-derived heating to residual biomass is the role of Baltpool’s biomass exchange – a central transparent biomass trading platform connecting biomass fuel suppliers with heating companies across the country, and the Baltic Sea region.
The Lithuanian experience with Baltpool is an example of translating European and national regulations into clear, workable processes for the industry.
By connecting the entire value chain – from forest residues to heating plants – the platform is a link between regulations and business, converting complex requirements into practical solutions and ensuring balanced value for businesses and regulators alike.
