WP1 - Bioenergy and links to agriculture and LULUCF in a Nordic context

The overall aim of the project is to contribute to and increase the knowledge and understanding of mechanisms that affect the biomass potential in the Nordic energy system and investigate how the environmental impact of agriculture-based bioenergy can be assessed using different calculation frameworks.

Main targets are to identify key aspects affecting the biomass potential from agriculture and the resulting GHG emissions of using the biomass in the energy system, and to investigate how updated scenarios for agricultural biomass potential can be integrated into the Open Nordic TIMES model. The Swedish Energy Agency assesses that the project has the potential to contribute to the call's goals.
