How much bioenergy can Europe produce without harming the environment?

The purpose of this report is to assess how much
biomass could technically be available for energy
production without increasing pressures on the
environment. As such, it develops a number of
environmental criteria for bioenergy production,
which are then used as assumptions for modelling
the primary potential. These criteria were developed
on a European scale. Complementary assessments
at more regional and local scale are recommended
as a follow-up of this work.
