Bioenergy is the largest renewable energy source in the EU. The sector provides renewable and sustainable energy to various end-use sectors including electricity, heating, and cooling, as well as transport fuels. Yet Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine has shown the fragility of the European Union's current energy system and is the topic of the first-of-a-three-part webinar series organized by the World Bioenergy Association (WBA).

Indeed, the current war in Ukraine has shown the fragility of the EU’s current energy system due to its dependence on conventional fossil fuel systems.

At the same time, the resilience of the renewable energy sector, especially bioenergy has shown how, in the current energy crisis, the sector has played a key role in providing a reliable and continuous supply of energy to millions of citizens in the European Union.

As the bloc moves toward meeting its ambitious energy and climate goals, it is critical to sustainably scale up the contribution of bioenergy technologies and solutions.

In this regard, the current critical role of bioenergy technologies in providing energy security and meeting socio-economic conditions such as jobs, energy price, and local economic development will be highlighted in the upcoming webinar ‘Critical role of bioenergy in ensuring EU energy security’.

The free-to-attend event which is jointly hosted by World Bioenergy Association and Bioenergy International takes place on April 25, 2023, and is the first-of-a-three-part webinar series organized by the World Bioenergy Association (WBA).
