Our ability to achieve European climate targets hangs in the balance of negotiations over primary woody biomass. European leaders must reject unnecessary restrictions and ensure bioenergy continues to support energy security.
Accelerating use of sustainable woody biomass will not only be good for the planet, it will bolster energy security, too.
The IEA’s 10-point plan to reduce the EU’s reliance on Russian natural gas underscores that dispatchable low-emission generation from bioenergy can and should be maximized. This was further reiterated in its joint work with the European Climate Foundation, which stated that increasing biomass use in power and heat could offset up to 2 billion cubic meters of natural gas, amounting to a positive cumulative climate impact of 4 million tons of saved CO2 emissions.
