Note on Forest Biomass for Energy

EASAC recently received a request by a Member of the European Parliament for a short summary of our position on Forest Biomass for Energy. EASAC has worked on this issue since 2017, publishing a report, a commentary and an article in a scientific journal. The EASAC position on the issue has also been integrated in a number of other recent publications, e.g. our key messages for COP26 and COP15.

Based on EASAC's previous publications and with further input from experts on the Steering Panels Environment and Energy, the two Directors of these Programmes have prepared the requested summary note.
