Publication of the UK Biomass Strategy

The UK Government has published its Biomass Strategy, outlining their view on the role biomass will play in supporting the UK’s transition to net zero and how this will be achieved.

We worked closely with teams from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and other government departments to provide scientific evidence, context and insight to inform the strategy.

The information here provides context to the Biomass Strategy along with comment from lead academics in the Supergen Bioenergy Hub.
