"Bioenergy is unnecessary. An energy plan consisting of energy savings and involving energy from the permanent energy sources of sun, wind and waves, with hydrogen as the energy carrier, is more than enough to cover the needs of the planet. At the same time, such a plan leads to high energy efficiency and clean combustion. There is, then, no reason for using cultivatable land for energy purposes. If bioenergy comes into the picture, it should only be as fuel for furnaces used by more than one supplier. It does make for clean and efficient bio combustion, but not on a scale that justifies its figuring as part of an overarching plan for supplying energy.
Bioenergy is a renewable, but not a permanent, energy source. The plants concerned absorb CO2 corresponding to the CO2 released on combustion.
Ethanol produced from grain, clover-grass and wood biomass is outweighed by the fossil energy inputs. In the case of grain, 29% more energy is used than is produced, the equivalent figures for clover-grass and wood being, respectively, 29% and 57%.
Finally, the EU should not dictate energy choices in the individual Member States, and certainly not on so doubtful a basis."@en1
