T-4B1b-TE-4 - Shift to biofuel in public 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

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.
