ETIP Bioenergy Working Group 1 – Biomass supply is organizing this webinar on October 4, 2024, 9.00-10.30 CEST, as part of the activities of the platform.

Intermediate crops are fast growing annual crops that can be cultivated between main food crops or during fallow periods. These crops can provide numerous benefits, including soil improvement, biodiversity enhancement, and serving as a sustainable feedstock for advanced biofuels.

The webinar will provide up-to-date information to set the scene for intermediate crops in the European Union for low-ILUC-risk biofuels, to understand the current state of research, providing also insights to the role and opportunities for farmers.
