BEIS is seeking a contractor to carry out a research project which will answer a selection of key questions surrounding the sustainability of biomass production and usage. This contract will consist of 3 work packages:

  • WP1, to review current evidence and methodologies surrounding the indirect land use impacts of both UK domestic feedstocks production and UK demand for international bioenergy and biofuel products.
  • WP2 to assess soil carbon stock changes with UK demand on internationally produced biomass feedstocks.
  • WP3 to assess the sustainability of wastes as bioenergy and biofuels, and the suitability of sustainability criteria and exemptions which are applied to waste derived feedstocks.

This project will provide up to date policy relevant evidence to inform options surrounding biomass production and usage.
