简介🥲：In the context of collaborations between Tsinghua University (China) and Universidad Politécnica of Madrid (UPM) (Spain) funded by the European Union under the Marie Curie Network on Biomass Energy and Sustainability, this presentation aims to provide a summary of the regulatory and commercial situation in the use of biomass energy in the European Union. This will be followed by a review of research projects carried out at UPM focusing primarily on three areas: i) thermochemical conversion of biomass, ii) hybridizing solar power generation with biomass, and iii) sustainability analysis of energy systems.
