Webinar explores temporal and accounting aspects of greenhouse gas emissions

The Supergen Bioenergy Hub ran a webinar on 3 June exploring the different methodologies for accounting greenhouse gases in respect of bioenergy and biomaterials.

A recording of the event is available on YouTube.

The first two presentations, from Sam Cooper at the University of Bath and Andrew Welfle from the University of Manchester, introduced findings from two recently published Supergen Bioenergy Hub policy briefs: Greenhouse gas emissions – timing matters! and Accounting whole life cycle bioenergy emissions within the UNFCCC emission accounting framework.

The next two presentations provided the industry perspective and were given by Michael Goldsworthy, Sustainability Manager at Drax, and Nicola Noponen, Technical Adviser at the Roundtable of Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB).

The presentation slides are available to download below.
