the European Union(EU) promotes bioenergy as one of the main renewable low-carbon sources to achieve its ambitious climate and energy targets for 2020 and beyond(EC 2014a: 2009a) Among bioenergy feedstocks, residues, including logging residues from forestry operations, are strongly supported under European legislation. Biofuels from residues are subject to multiple counting towards the renewable transport targets and are assigned zero greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions up to the point of collection (EU. 2009a). Furthermore, they are considered to cause low environmental impacts and very low Indirect Land Use Change(ILUC) emissions(EC, 2012)
