Welcome to the Bioenergy Portal

This is the new Bioenergy Portal, which links to the sub-portals Biofuel, Biogas and Solid Biomass.

The sub-portals Biofuel and Solid Biomass are still under construction. Please feel free to contribute!


Bioenergy is the mostly used renewable energy worldwide and can be defined as "energy contained in living or recently living biological organisms" (fossil fuels and thus excluded). It can be differentiated between three different types of bioenergy:

  • Biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel are fuels made from crops such as corn and oil palms respectively.
  • Biogas is produced with waste products such as sewage and dung.
  • Solid biomass, such as wood and has been used since ancient times for cooking and heating purposes– and more recently to generate electricity
