A new study by IHS Emerging Energy Research predicts that the EU biomass market will grow by 30GW between 2012 and 2035.The Europe Biopower Markets and Strategies: 2012-2035 research says that growth will represent 6% of the additional renewable energy capacity within the EU and, although wind and solar will continue to dominate the European market, biomass will become more of an attractive option for utilitiesThe report also says the EU will still have to rely on imported feedstock due to the scarcity of native wood resources, while also retaining and expanding government support and financial incentives for subsidies.
