European Environment Agency Report No7 (2006)
“How much bio-energy can Europe produce without harming the environment?”
The report explores the potential for purpose grown feedstock for power and heating and the potential for recycling biomass wastes. Some wastes, their storage, transport and uses could present environmental liabilities and risks to persons.
The main exploitable biowaste streams are solid agricultural residues (e.g. straw), wet manures, wood processing residues, the biodegradable part of municipal solid waste and black liquor from the pulp and paper industry.
