The 4th China-Europe Energy Technology Innovation Cooperation Forum was successfully held in Chengdu recently. By this event, the Biomass Energy Working Group under the China-Europe Energy Innovation Cooperation Platform was officially established. As the core Chinese lead organization, RIPP is tasked with coordinating the bilateral bioenergy innovation cooperation between China and the EU, and injecting new impetus into the joint green energy development across both sides.

The Biomass Energy Working Group is the fifth specialized cooperation framework under the China-Europe Energy Innovation Cooperation Platform. Managed by the China-Europe Energy Technology Innovation Cooperation Office, it follows a dual co-leadership model shared by Chinese and European parties. Its founding membership comprises 25 entities. On the Chinese side, the co-leads are RIPP, the Bioenergy Industry Branch of China Industrial Development Promotion Association and China National Bio Energy Group Co., Ltd. While TotalEnergies and Veolia Environment S.A. serve as European co-leads.

The inauguration of this working group marks a pivotal milestone, bringing China-EU bioenergy collaboration into a new state of structured and regular exchanges.
