Better Use of Biomass for Energy

What are the opportunities for bio-energy to achieve greenhouse gas reduction? Which opportunities offers bio-energy in a sustainable optimum use? These are the key questions in a study whose results are presented during the climate summit in Copenhagen. The conclusion is that there is a large number of possibilities for better use of biomass for energy both on the supply side and production of biomass and also in the conversion to a finished product (electricity, heat, transport, etc.).

Clients of this study were the International Energy Agency (IEA) Renewable Energy Technology Deployment (retd) and IEA Bio-energy.
The study was conducted in cooperation with the Öko Institut, AIDEnvironment and the Clingendael International Energy Program. Shortly, the background document will be published.
