Biomassa staat er momenteel niet best op, als optie om bij te dragen aan de klimaatdoelen. Maar qua CO2-uitstoot zijn de biomassacentrales voor sommige types brandstof soms toch de minst slechte optie. Dat blijkt uit het proefschrift van Steef Hanssen. ‘Het debat over biomassa is doodgeslagen’, zegt Steef Hanssen van de afdeling Milieukunde. ‘De consensus…

Applying a science-based systems perspective to dispel misconceptions about climate effects of forest bioenergy

Rapporten

From IEA Bioenergy, a sustainable solution The scientific literature contains contrasting findings about the climate effects of forest bioenergy. A paper by IEA Bioenergy’s Task 45 identifies the misconceptions that can lead to conclusions that exaggerate or underestimate its effects. This open-access article recently published in the Journal GCB Bioenergy is freely available at https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gcbb.12844. The…
