bridges vol. 17, April 2008 / Feature Article

by Caroline Adenberger

Austrian Biofuels Institute logoFounded in 1995, the Austrian Biofuels Institute (ABI) provides professional support for the development of liquid biofuels worldwide as an experienced competence center. ABI covers the many different and complex areas of knowledge related to liquid biofuels, through the specific experience of a great variety of members - ABI currently consists of a team of 45 international experts from 11 countries and five continents - striving to represent the best knowledge in their field of competence.

ABI functions as a competence center with synergistic effects, specifically for small- to medium-sized companies within the European Union-25, and also worldwide as a contact point to the Directorate Generals of the European Commission and other national and international organizations. This includes functioning as active and open networkers beyond any borders, as initiators for joint project work, and as project coordinators worldwide without any national restrictions.

Core areas of activity are target oriented research & development, dissemination & demonstration of acquired experience, lobbying for shaping adequate legislative measures, and transfer of project results into real life for promotion and market introduction of liquid biofuels - specifically Biodiesel and Bioethanol.
