Richard Burrell writes, "Decarbonising the UK’s heat network is one of the biggest energy challenges we face. The role of bioenergy, including biomass, in helping meet net zero heat emissions, has been convincingly outlined by the Renewable Energy Association’s (REA) Bioenergy Strategy report this week. It found that the UK could almost triple the use of bioenergy as a source of heat – from 6% to 16% by 2032..."
