Last week, we presented the Documentary “Fuel the solution, not the fire”. With Europe’s summer fire season about to begin, MEP Sakis Arnaoutoglou hosted the documentary premiere at the premises of the European Parliament.
The campaign takes you for a long journey across the EU, exploring impactful bioenergy stories. Discover how bioenergy helps the transition in busy capital cities, as well as supporting citizens in smaller villages. Is your town here? Stay tuned for the 2026 edition.
In the letter, the Board of Bioenergy Europe urges the Commission to fully recognise the contribution of sustainable bioenergy in addressing Europe’s energy security and shaping future legislative frameworks. Read more here.
Bioenergy Europe regularly participates in Public Consultations published by the European Commission on the Have Your Say portal.
While European associations like Bioenergy Europe can share coordinated positions based on members’ indications, all members are also invited to share their opinion.
We gathered here the most relevant open consultations for the sector:
The initiative reviewed the EU taxonomy climate delegated act to update and simplify the technical screening criteria. Bioenergy Europe’s written contribution can be found here. For more information please contact Irene di Padua.
Heating is one of the areas where Europe can make faster and more affordable progress on climate action, but only if it is treated as a priority.
Bioenergy Europe created 3 video series to call on the European Commission to prioritise clean heat as a vital aspect of the energy transition. Discover:
A call for evidence and a survey for the revision of the Renewable Energy Directive (REDIII) and a call for evidence and a survey for the revision of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED). Both the calls for evidence are open until 16th April, while the questionnaires will remain open until 12th June.
Bioenergy Europe will prepare a draft reply to both consultations, please share your inputs by 31st March COB. For more information, please contact Irene di Padua.
In our new Heating and Cooling Lab video the message is clear: electrification is part of the solution, but if we try to push almost all heating demand onto the power grid, we risk creating a new problem.
Fossil fuels still represent 74% of heating demand. To replace fossil fuels all renewables must grow. That is why the Strategy must support a balanced mix of solutions that looks at local realities.

In our latest video, we asked Christophe Dauriac Chief Sustainability officer at Green Alliance, his view on the upcoming Heating and Cooling Strategy. He reminded us that Europe still runs on fossil fuels, locking in GHG emissions and energy dependence.
His message is simple: renewable heating like bioenergy must progressively replace fossil fuels. That means scaling up modern bioenergy systems and look for hybrid solutions.
