Using biomass for energy is an important part of the renewable energy mix. However, bioenergy production should follow EU resource efficiency principles, according to this report from the European Environment Agency (EEA). This means extracting more energy from the same material input, and avoiding negative environmental effects potentially caused by bioenergy production.

For the purpose of this report, ‘bioenergy’ refers to energy uses of any kind of biomass, whether for heating, power generation or transport.
