Urgent need to consider how best to use biomass in Europe

The EEA report "The European Biomass Puzzle - Challenges, Opportunities and Trade-offs for Biomass Production and Use in the EU" looks at how biomass can help us achieve our climate and environmental goals and how climate change may affect biomass production in the EU agriculture and forestry. The report also discusses key synergies and trade-offs in using biomass for various policy goals. A key challenge highlighted by the EEA report is that EU policy objectives have competing demands on European biomass, which comes from agriculture and forestry, while its supply remains limited by land area, vegetation growth, a changing climate and global trade.
