3 April 2013                                                                                                                                                                                  BIOLYFE SWOT Workshop, Madrid, Spain

The workshop completed a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis that was conducted in the framework of the BIOLYFE project. The focus was on feedstock provision, but challenges and opportunities for biomass processing were also debated. To achieve the aims of the workshop, participants received an overview of preliminary BIOLYFE SWOT results. Afterwards, in an interactive forum, attendees were invited to participate in open discussion, contributing their thoughts and opinions on different topics.

7 June 2011
First BIOLYFE workshop, Berlin, Germany

The production of energy crops and the sourcing of agricultural residues at a larger scale is one of the critical steps in implementing environmentally and economically sustainable supply chains for lignocellulosic ethanol. However, large-scale agronomic experience is rather scarce regarding lignocellulosic feedstocks. This workshop aimed at exchanging existing experience and at discussing factors influencing the sustainability of the resulting supply chains.

The First BIOLYFE workshop was organised as a side-event of the 19th European Biomass Conference (6-10 June 2011 in Berlin, Germany).

Please see Issue 5 of the BIOLYFE newsletter for a brief workshop report.
