The ENEFIBIO project aims at creating a favourable framework for bioenergy projects development in Senegalese and Cameroonian SMEs. It promotes the use of biomass (e.g. residues from agro-food and wood-processing industries) to produce heat and/or power with efficient technologies. A focus is made on the energy production within SMEs to provide with the energy services required for processes.
The non-technological barriers to bioenergy projects development are addressed through:
the stimulation of a dialogue between policy makers and SME entrepreneurs to improve the administrative and regulatory framework;
the training of project developers to conduct prefeasibility and feasibility studies and on project development methodology;
the development of tools to assist project developers (guidelines, etc.);
the development of information tools to advise SME entrepreneurs on the potential of energy improvement in their companies with adapted bioenergy technologies;
the setting up of an information service for SME entrepreneurs.

ENEFIBIO is supported by the EC under the COOPENER Programme (50%) and the Walloon Region of Belgium.
