Foreword
Earlier this year the European Commission issued a consultation seeking advice and expertise from relevant stakeholders in preparation of a post 2020 sustainable bioenergy policy. Several position papers from contributors have since been published, the most recent being the stance of the NGOs. A report from a group of 11 organisations, which includes Greenpeace and FERN, calls for drastic reductions in bioenergy deployment, including the setting of an EU wide limit on the amount of bioenergy than can be incentivised for carbon reduction measures. This stance is somewhat unsurprising...........
