T-4B1a-TE-4 - Shift to biofuel in commercial buildings
Background¶
IPCC WG3 definition: .
Oil boilers are being replaced by biofuel boilers that are fuelled by, for example, wood or wood pellets.
Sustainability Category: Green¶
This transition element substantially contributes to climate change mitigation through significant greenhouse gas reductions, carbon sequestration, or enabling the transition to net-zero emissions. The transition element aligns with science-based pathways to limit global warming and should be prioritized for investment and expansion.
