Despite the European Union’s ambitious plans to achieve climate neutrality in 2050, the European economy and energy system are still dependent on imported fossil fuels. That is why the development of RES is a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bioenergy accounts for almost 60% of the EU total renewable energy consumption<\/p>Bioenergy Europe<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Biomass used for energy is mostly locally produced (less than 5% imports), therefore replacing fossil fuels with bioenergy also improves EU\u2019s energy security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the EU is willing to reach climate neutrality in 2050, more efforts are needed to deploy further renewable energies, especially in the heating and transport sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bioenergy is the largest renewable energy source in terms of direct and indirect employment, accounting for more than 700.000 jobs in solid biomass, biofuels, biogas, and renewable municipal waste sectors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bioenergy is also an enabler of other sectors decarbonisation such as commercial and industrial energy consumption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
