Renewable energy and biomass sustainability criteria

Renewable energy is essential for achieving Europe’s climate, energy security and competitiveness objectives. Sustainable biomass contributes to reducing dependence on fossil fuels while supporting domestic energy production. Stable and science-based sustainability criteria are important for creating long-term investment certainty across the value chain.

FFIF key message:
EU sustainability frameworks should recognise the contribution of sustainably sourced forest biomass to the energy transition.
