This report by the European Environment Agency, published in January 2008, confirms that there is a large potential for bioenergy production from agricultural biomass in Europe. However, the increasing demand for biofuels raises concerns about additional pressure on Europe’s environment and farmland biodiversity.
The report analyses the ’environmentally compatible’ potential of biomass production in 25 EU Member States and warns that Europe’s biodiversity, waters and soils could be threatened unless significant protective measures are put in place.
