Forest biomass is one of the main contributors to the EU’s renewable energy target of 20% gross final energy consumption in 2020 (Renewable Energy Directive). Following the RED, new sustainability principles are launched by the European energy sector, such as Sustainable Biomass Partnership (former IWPB). We have a reference situation with existing national (forest) legislation and sustainable forest management (SFM) schemes (scenario 1) and a future situation based on additional SBP principles (scenario 2). Two country studies were selected for our survey: one in Finland with nearly 100% SFM certification and one in Leningrad province with a minor areal share of certification in scenario 1. The potential volumes reduce after new criteria from the SBP in scenario 2. The costs will also increase in scenario 2, both in Leningrad region and Finland.
