CASCADE

As part of the CASCADE project, Lydia Fryda (UniLaSalle) participated in a recent conference in Nancy (France), organised by ATEE. The event brought together researchers, industry representatives, and regional stakeholders to explore new synergies and technological connections within the bioenergy sector.

A central focus of the panel discussion was the evolving role of methanisation in future energy systems and how it can be combined with other technologies to improve overall performance.

Key Topics from the Discussion

The panel highlighted several important aspects:

  • Emerging technological couplings in bioenergy systems
  • The role of methanisation in multi-energy systems at regional level
  • Insights from industrial applications
  • The need for further research to improve technical, economic, and environmental performance

These discussions underline the importance of moving towards more integrated and collaborative approaches.

Strengthening Exchange Across Sectors

Alongside the panel, dedicated exchange sessions created space for direct interaction between participants. These sessions aimed to:

  • Facilitate targeted networking
  • Encourage the sharing of experiences
  • Support the development of new collaborations

Such formats are essential for connecting ideas, technologies, and stakeholders, helping to move from discussion towards implementation.

The event highlighted how collaboration and knowledge exchange are key to advancing bio-based solutions and strengthening the development of sustainable energy systems.
