Actuellement, près de la moitié de l’énergie renouvelable de l’UE provient du bois et de ses déchets, selon Eurostat, l’office statistique de l’UE. Le manque de critères de durabilité pour mesurer l’impact environnemental laisse toutefois craindre qu’une quantité énorme de dette de carbone soit dissimulée.
The new Eurostat numbers were issued in conjunction with the UN’s Year of Sustainable Energy For All (SE4ALL), which sets ambitious renewables, energy efficiency and universal energy access targets. According to the Eurostat statistics, on average, 49% of renewable energy in the EU 27 states came from wood and wood waste last year, and most EU states met the majority of their renewable energy obligations this way. Forest products were most popular in the Baltics, accounting for 96% of Estonia’s renewable energy and 88% of Lithuania’s. At the other end of the table, Cyprus only used wood materials for 13% of its renewable energy needs.
