¿Sabía que el CO2 liberado durante la combustión de biomasa es aproximadamente igual al CO2 absorbido por las plantas durante su fase de crecimiento?
La biomasa es crucial para el desarrollo sostenible y la protección del medio ambiente. Desempeña un papel clave en la reducción de las emisiones de carbono en diversas industrias y es una de las principales fuentes de energía renovable, con un crecimiento significativo en los últimos años. La biomasa ayuda a sustituir los combustibles fósiles y evita impactos medioambientales adversos. Su creciente utilización en las industrias subraya su importancia en los esfuerzos actuales para combatir el cambio climático y promover prácticas sostenibles. En Preferred by Nature, garantizar el abastecimiento responsable de biomasa es un objetivo clave para nosotros.
Desarrollo sostenible: La biomasa favorece el desarrollo sostenible al proporcionar un suministro energético renovable y de origen local, reducir la dependencia de los combustibles fósiles y aumentar la seguridad energética.
Fuente de energía renovable: La bioenergía es la mayor fuente de energía renovable a nivel mundial, ya que representa el 55% de las energías renovables y más del 6% del suministro mundial de energía. (AIE)
Reducción de las emisiones de carbono: El uso sostenible de la biomasa puede reducir las emisiones de CO2, ya que se considera neutra en carbono cuando se obtiene de forma responsable. El CO2 absorbido durante el crecimiento de la biomasa compensa el CO2 liberado durante la combustión. (AIE)
Beneficios económicos y medioambientales: La energía de la biomasa puede contribuir al desarrollo rural creando oportunidades de empleo y gestionando eficazmente los residuos agrícolas y forestales, reduciendo así la contaminación ambiental. (Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación - FAO)
What are the challenges?
Biomass faces challenges such as resource competition, land use conflicts, and potential impacts on food security. Ensuring its sustainable sourcing is crucial, as indiscriminate exploitation can lead to deforestation and biodiversity loss. Additionally, the logistics and technology for efficient conversion into energy remain complex and costly, hindering broader adoption and scalability.
SBP verification can now show compliance with EU RED II
Preferred by Nature has completed its first SBP verification that is in conformity with the European Union Renewable Energy Directive II (EU RED II). Our recent audit, carried out on Holzkontor und Pelletierwerk Schwedt GmbH (HPS) operations, has shown the Sustainable Biomass Program (SBP) scheme’s readiness to provide verification in com...
