Latvia continues to top European Bioenergy Day
Latvia is the first EU Member State in the 2025 European Bioenergy Day campaign, an annual campaign organized by Bioenergy Europe to shed light on the increasingly central role sustainable biomass is playing in EU Member States’ energy mix.
August 18, 2025, marks Latvia’s Bioenergy Day, indicating that bioenergy could meet Latvia’s energy demands for 136 days or the remainder of the 2025 calendar year, based on Eurostat’s figures for 2024.
The annual campaign provides key facts on biomass and the bioenergy industry. It celebrates people, projects, and companies that are contributing to Europe’s carbon-neutrality goals across transportation, industry, space heating, and power, while guaranteeing energy security.
In the case of Latvia, which was also first in 2024, the example is a biomass-fired cogeneration plant located in Jēkabpils that has become a “local symbol of how smart technology and care for the environment can work together to help an entire city.”
Powered by Bioenergy Europe, the campaign is amplified by national and international partners who support the idea that bioenergy is more than just a renewable energy source—it is a reliable pathway to achieving Europe’s renewable energy transition.
