Bioenergy Network of Excellence

The Bioenergy Network of Excellence (NoE) is a pan-European group of eight leading research institutes in bioenergy.  The NoE moves beyond traditional networks and international collaborations to substantially integrate the activities and expertise of eight leading bioenergy institutes into a Virtual Bioenergy R&D Centre.  By merging the expertise, facilities and resources of the partners, the NoE will identify barriers and conduct integrated research that can move bioenergy into the European marketplace.  For more information on the NoE's research, partners and objectives please visit the website.
