BioPAD E-Zine Issue 3 - Spring 2014 | Page 2

Introduction The BioPAD project is promoting the wider use of bioenergy and developing applications targeting the whole process from supplying fuel to producing energy. By using bioenergy we can unlock the potential of our local natural resources, provide jobs and stimulate our local economies, make ourselves fuel secure and reduce CO2 emissions. The project will help the development of bioenergy and improve our understanding of the links between supply and demand by looking at supply chains for a variety of bioenergy fuels, and different ways of converting these fuels into sustainable energy. Understanding the way in which bioenergy moves from fuel sources to energy provision will help to establish robust and efficient supply services which can match local demand.
