Bioenergy is a renewable energy and is generated by treating biomass with various technologies.Depending upon the nature of biomass, it is more suitable for one technology than others, and they can further be treated with other technologies.Hence, the biomass follows a pathway of technologies, and the pathway is called bioenergy pathway.Currently, bioenergy pathways are created manually: either by manually sketching or by creating the data manually and generating diagrams from the data.Manually generated pathways are prone to human errors.A solution to this is creating semantic pathways automatically.In this paper, we present the bioenergy ontology to generate semantic pathways automatically.In particular, we have leveraged the Semantic Web technologies to represent the bioenergy knowledge and inferred the pathways.The case study has been carried out in one of the INTERREG Project and found promising results.
