 This Solid Biomass Capacity Statement authored by a multi-disciplinary team within IrBEA aims to give market confidence and certainty to energy users regarding the availability and capacity of the solid biomass sector to deliver renewable decarbonised heating solution in Ireland as they transition from fossil fuels to renewable fuels.
Bioenergy is the largest source of renewable energy globally To constrain global surface temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius in line with the Paris Agreement, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC), and more recently the International Energy Agency (IEA), have stated the need to greatly reduce fossil fuel carbon emissions in the move to carbon neutrality by mid-century. Among the measures identified is a ramping-up of modern bioenergy deployment, and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). IrBEA through its Wood Fuel Quality Assurance (WFQA) scheme has worked to develop a nationwide network of certified solid biomass suppliers over the last decade. This network of suppliers of all types of wood fuels including firewood, wood chip, wood pellets and wood briquettes are well equipped to satisfy the biomass resource needs of heat users.
