This is the first work package (WP) out of four within the Nordic Energy Outlooks programme (NEOs). WP1 addresses the role of bioenergy in the Nordic energy system and the various challenges and benefits of using bioenergy.
The participants in WP1 explore and describe the role of bioenergy in the Nordic energy system. How can topics like resource potentials, goal conflicts and synergies with other environmental or other objectives, Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) calculations, and other issues, be implemented in an energy system analysis? How will different methods and assumptions affect the results, and what consequences will these findings have for the energy system?
The results from the work package provide more knowledge on the role of bioenergy in the energy system, as well as the various challenges and benefits of using bioenergy. A Nordic perspective is investigated. In February 2022, the final report from WP1 was published, addressing topics such as expansion of existing datasets to better represent the Nordic area, improvements of resource potentials and utilisation, and emissions factor calculations.
