Bioenergy produced from refined biomass can reduce emissions that contribute to climate change while providing energy security. Cooperative funding of the most promising projects should lower costs and increase sustainability.
The EU is committed to meeting the energy challenge in a sustainable way. Bioenergy already accounts for more than two thirds of total renewable energy in the EU. Unlike solar or wind power, bioenergy does not rely on intermittently available resources. In addition, unlike combustion of fossil fuels, biomass can be a carbon-neutral or even carbon-negative energy option depending on the cultivations and fuel production process used.
