Biomass Energy Potential Considering Dietary Change

Abstract

 Current many climate change mitigation scenarios that meet so-called 2°C or 1.5°C target intending to keep global average temperature rise below 2 or 1.5 °C show that around 20-30% of total energy would be supplied by bioenergy. And it is said that the reduction of meat consumption will reduce land use of farmlands and pastures, which can be used for land use such as establishment of nature reserves to protect species and ecosystems and production of energy crops. Therefore, the potential amount of biomass energy potential, including economic aspects, was clarified, taking into account future changes in food content. 146 EJ/year of biomass energy potential in the baseline scenario for 2050 and 261 EJ/year of potential in the global meat restriction scenario The results obtained suggest that changes in the diet.
