To enable sustainable and cost-efficient bioenergy industry in Norway
CenBio scope
Vision and goal
CenBio addresses the entire value chains of virgin biomass and biodegradable waste fractions,
including their production, harvesting and transportation, the conversion to heat and power, and
the upgrade of residues to valuable products. CenBio researchers develop effective, environmentally
sound ways of utilizing more biomass and waste for energy purposes. Educating and training the next
generation of bioenergy researchers and industry players are essential to attain these ambitious goals.
As a result, consumers and society will be supplied with more renewable and low-carbon energy.By
further developing the Norwegian bioenergy industry, a substantial number of new jobs, especially in
rural districts, will be created.
