Trade of woody biomass for electricity generation under climate mitigation policy
Favero, Alice; Massetti, Emanuele - 2013
Bio-energy has the potential to be a key mitigation option if combined with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) because it generates electricity and absorbs emissions at the same time. However, biomass is not distributed evenly across the globe, and regions with a potentially high demand...
