Expanding Activities of an Energy Community in Central Greece By Integrating New Biomass Feedstock Towards Community Bioenergy Heating. Evaluation of Market-Uptake Support Activities

Short Introductive summary

This paper delves into the exploration of utilizing an existing pellet plant to enhance RESCoop activities, particularly in the context of a local bioenergy heating community, emphasizing the utilization of diverse biomass sources, such as i) residual urban biomass, ii) forest residues, and iii) alternative feedstocks like spent coffee grounds (SCG). The paper provides an overview of technical and business support that were provided to the BECoop RESCoop for the development of new businesss activities and aggregates the lessons learned from engaging the rural society towards sustainable bioenergy production.This detailed analysis sheds light on the potential of sustainable bioenergy integration, providing valuable insights for similar initiatives aiming to diversify and enhance sustainable energy practices in local communities.
