Synopsis (short abstract) This paper initially set out to achieve three objectives: First, to find out what policies, strategies and prospects are now in place among European countries that promote the development of biomass systems. The second task was to flesh-out what policies, regulations, legislation, rules and standards have been crafted to ensure the sustainable production, conversion, marketing and use of wood as fuel. The third objective was to come up with a per country case-specific description of the institut ional set-up and legislative mechanisms that promote bioenergy in Europe. Overall, the study provided a comprehensive perspective of the development of bioenergy systems after reviewing the cases of 25 European countries.
