The BBRI shall contribute for the excellence of research in Portugal in the field of Bioenergy fully aligned with the main value chains of the Strategic Energy Technological-SET PLAN and the implementation plan of the European Industrial Bioenergy Initiative (EIBI).

BBRI has already close contacts with most of members of the RI called BRISK (www.briskeu.com), which is the current European RI for thermochemical processing of biomass, and aims to be a key promoter for a new European RI application for Biochemical processing of biomass (sugar and microalgae platforms) taking the advantage of leading the European Sugar Platform at EERA-Bioenergy (www.eera-bioenergy.eu).

It is expected that BBRI will be known as the Portuguese reference RI in bioenergy, both at national and international levels.
