Netherlands: Dutch Government Lays Out New Biomass Policy

On April 22, 2022, the Dutch Minister for Climate and Energy, Rob Jetten, laid out the Dutch government’s policy for the application of biomass to the Dutch Parliament. The Cabinet will support the application of biomass for high value applications, uses which have no renewable alternative, and applications by which carbon is stored. The Cabinet confirmed it will phase out its support for the applications for low value purposes (i.e., biopower and low temperature heat) and will advocate for stricter sustainability criteria at the EU level. The Cabinet indicated it will no longer aim to limit the sourcing of biomass to EU sources. U.S. wood pellet exports to the Netherlands totaled $223 million in 2021.
