Subject: New NGO policy recommendations on the role of bioenergy in the EU climate and energy policy post 2020

Dear Yvon,

Following up our earlier discussion on EU’s bioenergy policies I wanted to bring to your attention a new set of policy recommendations (published this week, please see attached) that 10 NGO groups working on environment, climate, development etc. have put together on the role of bioenergy in the EU climate and energy policy post 2020.

The headline recommendations are:

·         Introduce a cap to limit the use of biomass for energy to levels that can be sustainably supplied

·         Ensure efficient and optimal use of biomass resources, in line with the principle of cascading use

·         Include correct carbon accounting for biomass

·         Introduce comprehensive and binding sustainability criteria

We believe that it’s necessary that future bioenergy sustainability policy covers these aspects to be a credible and a meaningful policy that different stakeholders can be confident in securing sustainability.

For any further enquiries, we remain at your disposal.

Best wishes, on bahalf of the undersgined NGOs,

Sini
