The Biden Administration’s emphasis on climate change has brought renewed interest in a full suite of energy technology and natural climate solutions, including biomass energy from hazardous fuels and managed forest systems. Some consider bioenergy from forests an important component in the transition away from fossil fuels while cutting greenhouse emissions. To others, efforts to scale up bioenergy from forests raises concerns about natural resource demands and larger sustainability priorities.
Yale Forest Forum is holding a speaker series on The Future of Forest Products in a Changing Climate: Bioenergy from Forests on Tuesdays from February 1st to April 19th from 11:30 am to 12:10 pm EST.
On March 1st, Kim Cesafsky Dubose, Director of Sustainability, for Enviva Inc. will discuss Forest Bioenergy Opportunities for Working Forests and Climate Mitigation
Enviva is the world’s largest producer of sustainable wood pellets, a renewable alternative to coal and other fossil fuels.
In this webinar, Kim will discuss Enviva’s biomass supply chain, sourcing practices, and the impacts of forest products markets on land use and management in the US South.
The presentation will focus on the contribution of sustainably sourced biomass from working forests to a systems-level approach to climate change mitigation and the transition to a circular economy.
