Four bioenergy industry associations have聽 changes in regulation and temporary exemptions to cushion corona crisis-related burdens in the sector. "Many plant operators are currently struggling with additional difficulties caused by the pandemic. We urgently need pragmatic regulations to mitigate these burdens, because bioenergy contributes significantly to the basic energy supply," said Sandra Rostek, head of the joint sector association Hauptstadtb眉ro Bioenergie. The industry said a lack of staff, challenges with transportation and interruptions in supply chains could lead to obstacles in providing input materials for plants. This would make it difficult for facilities to meet legal deadlines and criteria for receiving support payments through the Renewable Energy Act (EEG). Germany's grid agency BNetzA has released information about how to deal with the EEG's tender conditions during the crisis, but these steps "far from cover the necessary scope鈥�, said Rostek. Temporary exemptions from existing rules must be granted in order to give plant operators more flexibility, proposed the associations.聽聽

Almost 8 percent of German energy use came from biomass in 2019, making it the largest renewable source ahead of wind and solar. Most of it is used in combined heat and power plants (CHP).
