Difficult and costly energy transition projected by experts unless EU invests in biomass

Biomass is currently the EU's largest renewable energy source, but climate strategies often focus on other energy sources. A comprehensive analysis, led by Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, now shows that biomass is crucial for Europe's ability to reach its climate targets, as it can be used to produce fossil-free fuels and chemicals and also enables carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere. If biomass were excluded from the Europea…

Difficult energy transition looms without major EU investment in biomass

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Apr 23, 2025 Biomass remains the European Union's primary renewable energy source, yet it often receives less attention than solar or wind in energy transition strategies. New findings from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden stress the indispensable role biomass plays in meeting climate objectives. The research team demonstrated that omitting biomass from the European energy mix could inflate transi

EU climate targets unattainable without biomass, study finds « Carbon Pulse

Transitioning to a net zero or negative energy system can be 14-20% more expensive without biomass for energy production, and may simply be unattainable if Europe aims to achieve negative emissions in the long run, according to Swedish and German researchers.
