Project support • Project development and BUSINESS CASES Weadvisetwogeneralapproaches : • Reactiveapproach (let the people come to us and react on demand): • « To be an information center on the theme of bioenergy » • « to answergeneral or specificdemandrelated to bionenergy » • « to help on bioenergyprojectdevelopment, specificneeds or total project • Proactive approach • Concentrateeffort on technologies studied on the project (pyrolysis, biomethanation,etc.) • Concentrateon difficultbiomass : • digestatefrombiogas unit • sewadgesludge • organicwaste • pollutedwood • non-homogeneousbiomass • … whichneedpyrolysis to bevalorised

  16. 4. Project support • To do: • List, contact and meet businesses withbiomass sources not valorized (sludgetreatmentunits, biogasproject, municipalities, etc .) and propose services (sendsamples to estimatepotential, workshop on thematic ,etc.) • List and contact technologypartnerswithinyourregion, learn on technologies related to project (pyrolysis, gazeification,etc.) • List existingprojects for demonstration
