<p>The Government follows scientific advice which indicates that sustainable biomass
could play a role in decarbonising the energy sector as part of a diverse renewable

on Climate Change (IPCC), the Climate Change Committee (CCC) and the International
Energy Agency (IEA) all support this view.</p><p> </p><p>The UK only supports biomass
which complies with strict sustainability criteria which considers a range of environmental
issues including protecting the biodiversity of forests from which the biomass is
sourced, irrespective of its location.</p>
