Burning Up the Carbon Sink: How the EU's Forest Biomass Policy Undermines Climate Mitigation
GCB Bioenergy, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2025.The EU's reliance on forest biomass for renewable energy is weakening its forest carbon sink, with even heavily forested Member States losing their net sink entirely. Despite 2016 modeling that predicts this decline in the sink, EU renewable energy policy treats forest biomass as having zero carbon emissions, conflicting with IPCC guidance.
