The preliminary results of a recent study show that the utilisation of forest residues for bioenergy will have a positive climate effect until 2050. The report takes into account the fact that these residues would otherwise be left in the forests and would decay. Taking into consideration decay shows that bioenergy from forest residues is not only carbon neutral but has a substantial positive effect...
Read MoreIf the current review of REDIII is to be successful in ensuring that biomass is sourced and used sustainably, it will be important to have realistic and workable proposals so that operationalisation of requirements can be guaranteed.Following its commitment to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, the EU is working tirelessly to respond to the climate crisis which the entire world is facing. In this context, the...
Read MoreA new proposal from the European Parliament would declare primary woody biomass to be unsustainable, which would heavily impact the supply of bioenergy and remove the sector’s ability to provide sustainable energy, especially renewable heat this winter.Europe is the continent of climate action: the EU increased its already ambitious goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions and surpassed its bold renewable targets, securing 22% renewable energy by 2020,...
