UK outlines Biomass Strategy: large potential for bioenergy, bioproducts

The UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of Transport (DoT) have released their joint report on the potential of and strategies to exploit biomass for energy, fuels and renewable products in the UK. (…) The cross-departmental report says “there is significant potential to expand the UK supply of biomass without any detrimental effect on food supplies and in a sustainable manner”. However, the strategy includes a vision of international biomass and biofuels trade, in which up to half of all bioenergy is imported.
