Accelerating to Net Zero

Bioenergy Review 2023

How bioenergy contributes to a sustainable future

The role of biogas and biomethane in pathways to net zero

Biogas and biomethane provide sustainable flexible systems that play essential roles in circular economy, energy, and environmental systems

IEA Bioenergy Conference 2021

Bioenergy – a critical part of the path to carbon neutrality. Online, 29 November – 9 December 2021.

Campaigns Questioning the Use of Woody Biomass for Energy are missing Key Facts

There are concurrent media campaigns and publications questioning the use of woody biomass for renewable energy production. Several of them misrepresent on-the-ground forestry practise and bioenergy systems, and associate the use of woody biomass for energy with overexploitation of forests, even permanent deforestation, and “the burning of trees”.

Bioenergy and Sustainable Development - Climate Change Mitigation and Opportunities for Sustainability Co-Benefits

Bioenergy will make an important contribution to climate change mitigation; it represents between 15 and 30% of primary energy supply 2050 in global scenarios that limit warming to 1.5°C.
