The objective of this work package is to elaborate recommendations for the implementation and sustainable performance of biosaline biomass systems and to show how policy measures can support a sustainable biomass supply from biosaline biomass production.

Biosaline biomass could contribute to a sustainable biofuel supply of DE countries and of the EU. For the EU this is true as well for biomass produced on European sites (e.g. in Spain) as for biomass that will be imported from other than EU countries. Objective of this work package is to elaborate recommendations for the implementation and sustainable performance of biosaline biomass systems and to show how policy measures can support a sustainable biomass supply from biosaline biomass production.

Description of work
Based on the information gained mainly from WP2, WP4 and WP5 and in joint discussion with the whole project group recommendations will be elaborated on:
• the optimal choice of saline areas for biomass production
• the optimal performance of biosaline agrosystems in terms of choice of species and varieties and production technology
• the optimal biosaline biomass systems with regard to economic and environmental performance
• implementation of sustainable biosaline biofuel supply and trade chains
• policy measures that can support the implementation of sustainable biomass supply from biosaline biomass production
workshops to inform the local stakeholders of biosaline biomass chains and EU politicians will be performed by the DEV participants. In month 32 of the project a workshop on biosaline biomass production will be held in a DEV region. A final workshop to present project results will be held in Brussels in month 36.

Deliverables
D15: Identification of the overall constraints for the implementation and sustainable performance of biosaline biomass systems
D16: Analysis of - and recommendations on - policy measures to support a sustainable biomass supply from biosaline biomass production
D17: Background documents to be presented at the workshops on biosaline biomass in DEV countries
D18: Policy briefs and dissemination materials for the workshop on biosaline biomass in Brussels
