Recommendation 47
47
Paragraph: 228
Increased domestic biomass sourcing enhances UK supply security and offers biodiversity benefits
Conclusion
As demand for biomass feedstock grows globally, sourcing more biomass domestically could increase the security of UK biomass supply. Provided that overharvesting is avoided, bringing a higher proportion of existing forests into active management could provide a source of woody biomass for bioenergy in the UK with added benefits for biodiversity and resilience.
