The Role of Bioenergy in a WB2/SDG world
Duration: 01/01/2019 – 31/12/2021
Leadership
The project was led by Göran Berndes, IEA Bioenergy Task 45
Objective
This 3-year project started in the first quarter of 2019 and includes four activity areas. Studies are underway, including one on ‘forests as long term C sinks’ which will address the view that forests should remain uncut. The project is expected to be completed in the 4th quarter of 2021
