Introduction to EBTP mapping activities
To achieve an overview of the current state of biofuels R&D&D in Europe vis à vis the Strategic Research Agenda & Strategy Deployment Document (SRA/SDD), a database has been created to collate details of relevant ongoing projects funded by EU, Member States. The database covers studies, research and demonstration projects.
The mapping process has been initiated by the Biofuels TP secretariat. This involves gathering information on projects funded by the EC, Member States or other countries, using information currently available on Cordis, Biomatnet and other information sources.
However, the ongoing participation of stakeholders is crucial to obtain a more complete picture of ongoing R&D projects. All registered stakeholders can supply this information via an online questionnaire. They will also have access to the searchable database of projects.
Stakeholders can also access and contribute to the Biofuels Pilot Plants Database being developed by the EBTP.
Complementary mapping activites by other organisations
Similarly, information on 2nd Generation Pilot Plants in Europe, the United States and Australia is also being gathered and disseminated by IEA Bioenergy Task 39.

How to access the Biofuels Research Database and Questionnaire
A) Register as a Stakeholder
If you are not currently a WG or SC Member, or a registered Stakeholder,
but are actively involved in Biofuels research, please complete the stakeholder
application form. We will then send you a username and password to access
the questionnaire and database.
B) View the Biofuels Research Database
i) Login using
your usual WG, SC or Stakeholder members area username and password.
ii) You will be redirected to the search page, where you can find projects in specific countries and research areas, and then view full details and links.
C) Submit your project details
Simply login to the search page (as described above), and click on 'submit new project' to launch the questionnaire.
Note: At this time the database includes details of several example EU projects, but will be expanded over the coming weeks and months to include details of many other studies, research and demonstration projects.
