Renewable energy policy in Europe will see biomass demand grow by almost 50% between 2010 and 2020 with increased use of biomass not only in the energy sector but also in industrial and residential sectors. Biomass is currently the largest source of renewable energy in Europe and is a relatively attractive option. However, unless new sources of biomass are developed beyond current levels, Europe will face an acute shortage of biomass. What is the potential to increase regional supply for biomass from forest and other sources and what actions are being taken to release the potential? The key to the future development of European biomass markets resides in the region's supply potential; and how well it can mobilize new sources of supply, such as forest, agricultural residues and energy crops. European Biomass Review provides three scenarios for the mobilization of new sources based on demand forecasts -by segment until 2020-, supply potential and costs. Possibly the most powerful tool in the study, is the forecast cost-curve analysis for each region across all feedstocks. For each of the three supply scenarios: full supply mobilization, partial mobilization and no mobilization of new sources, this provides a snapshot of each regional market in 2020. These fifteen cost curves illustrate how demand can meet supply and the required import and price levels - as pictured below for the UK & Ireland. Nb. For illustrative purposes; figures have been removed in the chart below. 
The study covers lignocellulosic biomass (wood, energy crops, and agricultural residues) for the EU27 countries plus Norway and Switzerland, with breakdowns by five regions (North, West, East, & South Europe, UK and Ireland).

How can European Biomass Review help you?As an independent analysis and forecast, European Biomass Review considers renewable energy targets, National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs), announced investments, carbon costs and the economics of biomass versus other renewable energy sources (RES) to provide three scenarios for the development of European lignocellulosic biomass markets until 2020.
