WWF says EU’s revised RED rules remain deeply flawed on bioenergy

In Belgium, bioenergy has a role to play in the decarbonization of the EU energy system, but only where it provides significant, near term cuts in emissions compared to fossil fuels, according to the WWF. It says that unfortunately the rules on bioenergy in the EU’s revised Renewable Energy Directive (RED) remain deeply flawed in this regard, and pending further changes to that Directive Member States must apply stricter conditions at national level to ensure that bioenergy delivers genuine climate benefits.
