The purpose of the Biomass Strategy is to set out the role biomass can play in reaching net zero, what government is doing to enable that objective and where further action is needed. The Strategy restates the government’s commitment to biomass sustainability. It reviews the potential future availability of sustainable biomass to the UK and considers how this resource could be prioritised strategically across the economy to help achieve the government’s net zero target, and wider environmental and energy security commitments. A key commitment of the Biomass Strategy is to develop and implement a cross-sectoral common sustainability framework, subject to consultation. In particular the government commits to take a series of further actions to strengthen the UK’s biomass sustainability criteria used in future schemes, to ensure they reflect the most advanced thinking on sustainability; aims at further develop biomass uses in power, heat and transport sectors ensuring access to biomass; commits at developing technologies to enhance the capacity of Biomass energy system with carbon capture and storage
