EU Documents

• Biomass action plan C/B analysis - increase in bioenergy from 69 mtoe in 2002 to 149 mtoe in 2010. Benefits: energy diversity, GHG reductions, 250-300k jobs. Cost: 2.1 - 16.6 billion euros/yr. On track?
• Renewable energy roadmap: Legally binding 20% by 2020. How to mainstream; policies needed.
• Renewable energy roadmap C/B analysis and feasibility study - 20% renewable energy by 2020 (would be 12.5% with BAU). Costs: expensive, but less so if oil and carbon tax prices rise. Determine that shares above 20% lead to costs higher than benefits.
