How much bioenergy can Europe produce without harming the environment?

@techreport{citeulike:1122629, abstract = {The study concludes that significant amounts of biomass can technically be available to support ambitious renewable energy targets, even if strict environmental constraints are applied. The environmentally-compatible primary biomass potential increases from around 190 million tonnes of oil equivalent (MtOE) in 2010 to around 295 MtOE in 2030. This compares to a use of 69 MtOE in 2003 (of which the environmentally-compatible part is included in the 295 MtOE). The potential is sufficient to reach the European renewable energy target in 2010, which requires an estimated 150 MtOE of biomass use.

The bioenergy potential in 2030 represents around 15–16 \% of the projected primary energy requirements of the EU-25 in 2030, and 17 \% of the current energy consumption, compared to a 4 \% share of bioenergy in 2003.}, author = {Wiesenthal, Tobias and Mourelatou, Aphrodite and Petersen, Jan-Erik and Taylor, Peter }, citeulike-article-id = {1122629}, keywords = {biofuel, energy, europe, policy, scenarios}, number = {7/2006}, posted-at = {2007-02-26 11:30:58}, priority = {5}, publisher = {European Environment Agency and Office for Official Publications of the European Communities}, series = {EEA Report}, title = {How much bioenergy can Europe produce without harming the environment?}, url = {http://reports.eea.europa.eu/eea\_report\_2006\_7/en}, year = {2006} }
