Biomass helps fight Climate Change
“Biomass helps fight Climate Change – Climate change is a major threat to the human systems and environment. The most important climate change mitigation measure is the transformation of energy, industry, and transport systems so that fossil carbon is not emitted to the atmosphere.” Says Dr Annette Cowie in an expert report on Climate Change […]
Modern Bioenergy is Crucial
Biomass materials to be used as a fuel source in the future. Modern Bioenergy is crucial. The discussion around the use of Biomass has been raging over the last few years and despite many scientific and academic reports stating the benefits to the environment and the economy, many sceptics remain unconvinced. Dr Annette Cowie has […]
Biomass for bioenergy
Biomass for bioenergy – Demonstration of potential for bioenergy to contribute to energy system transformation in NSW This project is investigating opportunities for increasing the amount of sustainable biomass use in NSW with a focus on electricity generation. The purpose of the project is to identify available and potential feedstocks for bioenergy generation at varying […]
Bioenergy is essential for a green future
Banning the use of primary woody biomass as a raw material would eliminate 20% of energy from the EU renewable energy mix! All sustainable renewables are part of the solution! Bioenergy is essential for a green future. Shouldn’t we leave all the wood in the forest? On the contrary, leaving too much unnecessary residue on […]
