Recommendation 44
44
Paragraph: 218
Constrain UK power sector biomass use by sustainable feedstock supply, quantified in Biomass Strategy.
Recommendation
The amount of biomass used by the UK power sector should be constrained by the supply of low-carbon sustainable feedstocks, factoring in potential domestic supply and rising trends of bioenergy use globally. The Biomass Strategy should set out and quantify the potential of different biomass sources to deliver energy and explain how sufficient sustainability sourced biomass feedstocks will be found, from where, to meet demand required by BECCS, in line with net zero pathways.
