ABSTRACT

Any intensified use of bioenergy must be measured against the extent to which it promotes a shift towards sustainable energy systems (Section 2.2). Specifically, it must be evaluated in terms of its contribution to climate change mitigation (Section 9.2.1) and its role in overcoming energy poverty (Section 9.2.2). The following synthesis is based on the analysis presented in Chapters 6, 7 and 8; it specifies WBGU’s vision for sustainable bioenergy use.
