Abstract
This report is the fourth comprehensive public report by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) entirely dedicated to the topic of biomass in its many shapes and forms. This is the ten-year anniversary edition of the JRC Biomass Mandate. In the sections that follow, we discuss the competing requirements for biomass, and why this makes it so important to address biomass governance. In the central chapters of the report, we quantify biomass supply from forests, agriculture, and marine ecosystems, as well as waste streams for a wide range of uses in the European Union. The second half of the report is dedicated to a presentation and discussion of various possible actions to address biomass governance. We conclude by highlighting the need for system’s level assessments to facilitate policy coherence. This report reflects the direct work of JRC scientific staff and their collaborators, bringing together expertise from several units of the organisation, all united by a common attention to biomass.
