About the S2Biom project
The S2Biom project - Delivery of sustainable supply of non-food biomass to support a
“resource-efficient” Bioeconomy in Europe - supports the sustainable delivery of non-
food biomass feedstock at local, regional and pan European level through developing
strategies, and roadmaps that will be informed by a “computerized and easy to use”
toolset (and respective databases) with updated harmonized datasets at local,
regional, national and pan European level for EU28, Western Balkans, Moldova,
Turkey and Ukraine. Further information about the project and the partners involved
are available under www.s2biom.eu.

D6.1 – Policy database

1 Background
The goal of Task 6.1 was to prepare a structured overview of regulatory and
economic frameworks on EU and national level.
Different EU-wide and national/regional policies are playing a role in the mobilization,
supply, conversion and end-use of non-food biomass. In terms of policies this mainly
refers to agriculture, forestry, nature protection, waste policies, licensing, emission
limits, requirements for storage and conversion installations in terms of emissions,
efficiency, safety, biofuels and bio-energy policies (demand side), support and
labelling of biobased products, public procurement, R&D and innovation (conversion
technologies, but also research towards new or improved biomass types), as well as
sustainability requirements on specific parts or the entire supply chain.
Taking into account that policy support has been extremely important for the
deployment of the bioeconomy, it is useful to have a clear overview of different
policies in the participating countries which (may) have an impact on biomass
mobilisation and use. These policies can be found in different policy fields, i.e.
agriculture, forestry, nature protection,…, and they are hardly integrated for energy
applications, resulting in arising conflicts between different policy areas. Some
Member States tried to embed some of these conflicts in policy, however, all followed
their own approach in terms of restrictions of scale, limitations to specific types of
biomass eligible for support, protection of existing biomass based sectors, and
specific sustainability criteria. Common sustainability criteria are only followed in
terms of environmental sustainability of biofuels for transport and bioliquids for
stationary bioenergy, as imposed by the Renewable Energy Directive (RED, 2009,
and Amended by the iLUC Directive in 2015). The good agricultural practices
prescribed in the Common Agricultural Policy are also relevant to mention in this
respect.
Meanwhile the concept of resource efficiency was presented by the European
Commission in the ‘Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe’ (COM(2011)571),
followed by the 2012 Commission's strategy and action plan ‘Innovating for
Sustainable Growth: a Bio-economy for Europe’ (COM(2012)60) in which focus is put
on materials, rather than energy. Taking these into account next to the renewable
energy targets, it is even more important to implement the right balanced and
integrated policies (i.e. taking into account different policy fields), aiming for a
sustainable and resource efficient mobilization and use of these biomass resources,
while keeping a level-playing field with other markets (i.e. avoiding market distortions
through subsidies to one application).
D6.1 – Policy database

In order to benchmark the different approaches and to evaluate their current and
expected impact towards future renewable energy targets, but also in the frame of
biobased economy evolutions, it was important to first map what policies already
exist with relevance to the main biomass value chains.
EU-wide and identified national and regional policies were structured and entered in
a database. The database was built on the foundations developed by a concurrent
project BERST1 (BioEconomy Regional Strategy Toolkit).
On the one hand, distinction of policies and economic mechanisms were made
according to the stage in the supply chain they are applied to:
• Biomass mobilisation: this includes production, harvesting and collection of
biomass. Supply of biomass comes from agriculture, forestry, nature
conservation, as well as waste and residues.
• Conversion/ production processes of biomass to solid, gaseous, liquid biofuels
and biobased products.
• Logistics, storage and trade.
• End use: conversion to electricity, heating and cooling; use of biofuels in
transport; use of biobased products in end use markets.
On the other hand, policies were classified according to their nature, i.e. economic,
regulatory or soft (voluntary).
2 Overview of the S2BIOM policy database
The S2Biom policy database is available at https://s2biom.vito.be/. It is a catalogue of
policy instruments and measures, information on the regulatory and financial
frameworks impacting bioeconomy development throughout Europe.
For each policy measure / instrument, information is provided on a set of descriptive
criteria. These are displayed in the form of factsheets.
2.1 Factsheets and input fields
Figure 1 shows a screenshot of the layout of the database for the Austrian CHP law,
where the different items of the policy are described.

Empty fields are not displayed.
An overview of the input fields which can be entered in the database for each policy
instrument is described below. Some fields (indicated between brackets) are more
relevant for other projects that use the same underlying database (e.g. BERST,
BioTrade2020plus).
The Factsheet of the chosen policy mentions:
- the country or region where the policy is applicable
- the name in English and native language
- a brief description
- the type of Instrument or Measure (Economic, Regulatory, Voluntary)
- topic targeted (e.g. energy, agriculture, …) - feedstock type targeted - product type targeted - part of the value chain - short name of Instrument / Measure - reference Code - goal/Aim

2.2 Collected policies
In Annex I an overview is provided of the policies of the different countries included in
the database. To this end, the information of relevant policies were partly collected in
predefined templates that were uploaded or directly filled in the database. The project
partners were asked to go through the list of policies for their country and to update
them where necessary.
The participating Member States are all the EU28 Member States, the Western
Balkan States - Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia - and
Moldova, Ukraine and Turkey. The list contains some basic information (name, policy
field). More information can be obtained through the included link to the factsheet.
The following table shows an overview of the total amount policies in the database
(status November 2016), per country, and per policy field.
