To develop the market for solid biofuels within the EU standards are urgently needed. Based on a mandate given by the EC, CEN TC 335 "Solid Biofuels" currently develops such standards based on the available knowledge.

Against that background the goal of the "BioNorm II" project is it to support the ongoing standardisation efforts especially for the development of improved solid biofuel specifications concerning

• specifications given by the combustion unit, and

• rules for conformity of the products with their specified requirements.

The results of this pre-normative work will be transferred directly into the ongoing standardisation process to allow for the development of improved European Standards and acceptable Technical Specifications.
