Using biomass for climate change mitigation and oil use reduction (original) (raw)

This paper discusses the role of biomass in climate change mitigation and oil use reduction, emphasizing Sweden's energy policy and EU's renewable energy strategies. By examining the global potential of bioenergy and intra-European trade of biomass, the paper highlights significant opportunities for biomass utilization in reducing fossil fuel dependency. A focus on biofuels is demonstrated, along with the analysis of the economic implications, including carbon and energy taxes, on mitigating CO2 emissions.
