Abstract

The main aim of this project is to understand and promote favourable conditions for the establishment of biodiesel market chains in selected member states which have had limited developments to date. This proposed work will focus on the Following countries - Greece, Belgium, Poland, Cyprus, Romania and Bulgaria.

These countries are making only limited progress in creating markets to achieve European liquid biofuel policies and targets compared to the leading member states such as, amongst others, France, Austria and Germany.

The work is focussed on the area "supply chain and market structures for alternative fuels requiring separate supply chains" and also contribute to actions dealing with the topics "mobilising local energy actors" and "establishing favourable conditions for local energy markets and services".

To achieve these objective, six work packages will be undertaken with the following specific objectives:

• WP1 will provide the basic infrastructure to operate the project.
• WP2 - Biodiesel market status, will critically analyse current market developments in biodiesel in participating countries in relation to wider EU25 biofuel markets, including drivers, barriers and windows of opportunity.
• WP3 - Emerging best practice, will collate information on emerging best practices and commercialisation of biodiesel in leading European member states and understand how this can be adapted and transferred to participating countries.
• WP4 - Market structures, will determine how to create country-specific favourable conditions to increase penetration of biodiesel.
• WP5 - Strategy formation, will work with market actors to agree and articulate strategies to establish biodiesel market chains in participating member states.
• WP6 - Mobilize actors, will create networks of relevant stakeholders to initiate dialogue and mobilize market actors.
• WP7 - Dissemination, will actively promote the findings of this project to target stakeholder groups, including information and awareness campaigns in each participating member state.
• WP8 - will deal with common dissemination activities.
