  4. 2. Towards More Coherent and Sustainable Biomass Policy: Examining European biomass-to-energy planning

    Author : Niina Kautto; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Bioenergy; Biomass policy; Renewable energy; Policy coherence; National action plan; Strategic planning; European Union; Region;

    Abstract : Coordination of policies embracing biomass use has been called for in order to speed up progress towards the European Union renewable energy and climate change goals. Policy coordination and coherence is also required if the many complex and diverse issues constraining sustainable bioenergy development are to be addressed. READ MORE

  5. 3. Perspectives on future bioenergy use and trade in a European policy context

    Author : Julia Hansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sweden; bioenergy trade; EU; policy; bioenergy; co-generation; renewable electricity; biomass; co-firing; district heating; biofuels for transportation; gasification;

    Abstract : This thesis, which consists of five separate papers, analyses the possibilities for increasing the use and trade of bioenergy, in a European policy context. In Paper I we investigate whether different policy objectives underlying the promotion of bioenergy (cost-effective climate change mitigation, reduced dependency on imported fuels, and job creation) agree on which bioenergy options should be used.

  7. 5. Public Policy and the Governance of Biofuel Systems

    Author : Lorenzo Di Lucia; Miljö- och energisystem; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; transport; Biofuels; governance; policy; governability;

    Abstract : The dependency of transport on oil fuels is responsible for risks of energy supply security, and local, regional and global environmental problems, including the emission of greenhouse gases affecting the Earth’s climate system. Biofuels attracted considerable attention in recent years as a solution to these problems. READ MORE
