Briefing: Analysis of Biomass in NECPs

This publication analyses the National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) in Bulgaria, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Poland and Slovakia and these countries’ measures to support forms of wood biomass. The planned amount of logging and the use of biomass is in many cases at an unsustainable level. The paper states that there is a tendency to replace coal with other unsustainable and often non-renewable fuels. This briefing lists measures that can be taken to counter this trend.
