Europe has potential for increasing forest chip and agrobiomass use by 50%

Agrobiomass and forest chips are the most underused bioenergy sources available today; there is potential for increasing their use by 50% from the present. Increasing biomass fuel use would help attain sustainable development goals.Thanks to the EUBIONET III project coordinated by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, there is now more accurate information available than ever before on biomass reserves in the EU. The project involved estimating the biomass potential in 23 EU Member States and Norway. The annual potential for biomaterial gained from forests, fields and industry was

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland: Print products only account for approximately 1% of the climate impacts of consumption by households

The greenhouse gas emissions produced by a single newspaper during its entire life cycle correspond to a car journey of approximately one kilometre. The carbon footprint of a book bought from a store is equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions of a car journey of approximately 7 kilometres. The research gives information about the environmental impacts’ magnitude related to products of the print products’ group.VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland recently published a study on the carbon footprint and other environmental impacts of newspapers, magazines, photo books, books, and
