It\u2019s clear that because bioenergy covers such a significant share today, we are going to need it in the system, otherwise, we will not make it to climate neutrality.<\/p>Ditte Juul-J\u00f8rgensen, director of the European Commission\u2019s energy department<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Moreover, all major forecast models indicate the need to increase the share of bioenergy to achieve zero emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scenarios for achieving the EU\u2019s 2030 and 2050 emissions targets shows the need for more bioenergy, projecting its use to increase within this decade and to double by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Similarly, a special report<\/a> from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2018 found biomass to be essential in three out of four climate mitigation scenarios, with increases of primary energy from biomass ranging from 49 percent to 418 percent by 2050. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, a 2020 McKinsey study<\/a> exploring the optimum pathway to reduce EU emissions 55 percent by 2030 found that increasing the use of biomass will be \u201ccritical\u201d to reaching net zero, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/uabio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Article-1-Graph.jpg\")
