Energy from forest biomass, commonly described as near carbon neutral, can be turned into heat, biofuels and various chemical materials. Renewable energy from biomass will play an essential role in reducing the carbon intensity of energy and decoupling energy use from CO2 emissions (IEA, 2007). The wood energy sector will be strongly influenced and supported by energy policies aimed at mitigating climate change and diversifying the national energy portfolio to enhance energy security (Olsson et al., 2009). Experiences from the Austrian bioenergy sector, which is largely based on forest biomass, might serve as examples of regional sustainability.
