The biomass sector is very complex and varied with a multitude of different end-uses, technologies and potential fuel combinations. Recognising this complexity the Carbon Trust commissioned Paul Arwas Associates and Black & VeatchLtd to carry out this study to better inform future Carbon Trust activity in relation to biomass.
The project's main objectives were to:
- Develop a robust fact base on the economics and impact of existing biomass technology
- Assess the realistic carbon saving potential of biomass in the UK
- Identify the main barriers (policy and market) to the further development of the biomass sector in the UK
- Identify where the Carbon Trust could help to deliver carbon savings by accelerating the development of the sector
