BGBIOM promotes renewable energy sources, mainly biomass, plant residues and animalmanure as energy sources for sustainable society.


The aim of BGBIOM is to propagate the growth of different plants for non- food use. BGBIOM aims also to co-ordinate and facilitate the research and development works in the fields of biomass resources, biofuel product on technologies, biofuel market in the transport, heat and energy sector, as well as in the field of biomass non-energy products.

The National Biomass Association (BGBIOM – Bulgaria) was created in the autumn of 1998. In October same year BGBIOM became member of European Biomass Association (AEBIOM) .


BGBIOM plans to realise these aims by taking part in different EU programs.In 1998 year   BGBIOM -Bulgaria was involved in the project „Let’s give floor to the farmers” in the frame of ALTENER program as subcontractor of AEBIOM.
