Agricultural Biomass for Energy Crops Series: Policy Messages

Bioenergy Europe's final video of a series of four dedicated to #bioenergy feedstock coming from #agriculture, both perennial energy crops and agricultural residues.

In this video we review the current state of play of the Common Agricultural Policy reform and we highlight our key messages in view of the upcoming political debate.

By raising awareness about the potential of the agricultural residues value chain and with the appropriate legislative framework, biomass derived from agriculture can play a key role in climate change mitigation strategies.

About agrobiomass:
With around 20% of the bioenergy feedstock coming from agriculture, both dedicated energy crops and agricultural residues can be utilised to produce #heat, #electricity and #biofuels. Agricultural #biomass represents an important and sustainable energy source although its potential remains largely untapped. Agricultural biomass is key to achieve Europe’s long-term decarbonisation objectives.
