“In Lithuania, the share of biomass in residential district heating has increased from 30% to 70% over the last five years”

It’s important to be ready to grasp the moment, therefore, which is exactly the picture presented by Sweden’s Roadmap Bioenergy. Published in March, when the COVID-19 reality was just starting to dawn on many of us, the roadmap declared that bioenergy is already fully prepared to be able to supply more than half of Sweden’s energy needs by 2045. That’s a...
