OBJECTIVE :
The objectives of the concerted action are to strengthen communication
about the environmental aspects of biomass production and biomass
routes, in order to :
- improve knowledge and insights of the participating organizations
- identify differences in national insights and causes of those
differences;
- reach consensus where possible about guidelines for environmental
analysis, about major environmental issues and about possible
solutions for environmental problems.
The concerted action focuses on
- analysis and assessment of the environmental impact of the most
relevant biomass routes for energy supply in Europe;
- assessment of feasible ways to reduce negative environmental
effects and to increase positive environmental effects;
- assessment of the extent biomass can play a role in European
energy supply with respect to environmental impact, agricultural
development and land use.
