EU climate plan sacrifices carbon storage and biodiversity for bioenergy

Timothy Searchinger, Oliver James, Patrice Dumas, Thomas Kastner & Stefan Wirsenius. EU climate plan sacrifices carbon storage and biodiversity for bioenergy Incoming policies will cause the European Union to harvest more wood, shift one-fifth of cropland to bioenergy and outsource deforestation, analysis shows. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04133-1  221201-Searchinger-et-al-22_-EU-climate-plan-boosts-bioenergy-but-sacrifices-carbon-storage-and-biodiversity-Nature-2022.pdf

The Impacts of the Demand for Woody Biomass for Power and Heat on Climate and Forests

Duncan Brack, Chatman House (VK). Hoewel de meeste beleidskaders voor hernieuwbare energie biomassa als koolstofneutraal ten aanzien van verbranding beschouwen, stoot biomassa meer koolstof uit per energie-eenheid dan de meeste fossiele brandstoffen. https://www.chathamhouse.org/2017/02/impacts-demand-woody-biomass-power-and-heat-climate-and-forests
