EU bioenergy potential from a resource efficiency perspective

European Environment Agency Report No 6/2013

The main objective of this report is to review the implications of resource efficiency principles for developing EU bioenergy production. The results presented are primarily based on the 2013 European Topic Centre on Spatial Integration and Analysis study, capturing key messages while excluding some of the more technical elements.

EEA Report No 6/2013: EU bioenergy potential from a resource efficiency perspective

It primarily addresses the agricultural sector as it is clearly the biomass source with greatest
potential for growth and for adverse environmental impacts - often as a result of indirect land use change. However,
the study also includes the estimated bioenergy potentials for the EU forest and waste sectors. It aims to provide a complete
analysis of the most resource efficient approach for reaching the EU 2020 bioenergy ambitions.
