Bioenergy Europe Manifesto for the 2024 EU elections
Comments
The next EU mandate will have to address pressing issues such as climate change, energy security and a rising cost-of-living. Bioenergy Europe has the knowledge and expertise to assist European policy makers in designing the necessary framework.
- A Clear Fossil Fuels Exit Strategy
- End all fossil fuel subsidies and develop a clear defossilisation strategy.
- Calculate the full value-chain emissions for fossil fuels and create minimum standards.
- Require Member States to set end dates for the use of fossil fuels in different sectors with indicative trajectories and clear measures.
- Sustainable and Efficient Bioenergy Enhances Energy Security
- Launch an ambitious programme to replace old heat appliances.
- Establish a fund for the modernisation of heating appliances and promote investments in efficient bioenergy use.
- Add heat and energy storage mapping to the National Energy & Climate Plans.
- Unlock the Potential of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage, Utilisation and Biochar
- Enable a political and financial framework to accelerate the ramp-up of biogenic Carbon dioxide removal technologies (CDR).
- Set quantitative targets for technological carbon removals in 2030, 2040 and 2050.
- Promote synergies for bioenergy and BECCS in hard-to-abate sectors.
