EU. The resulting use of bio sources for electricity and centralised heat generation is the result of a direct competition with other alternative fuels and technologies, based on assumed techno- economic projections, to achieve the overall GHG reduction target. numbers until 2050 (after reaching a maximum in 2030). However, its relative share in total wind and photovoltaic (PV) capacity. In 2025, generation from bio sources is approximately two 150 TWh), with a negligible contribution from bioliquids. the form of biomethane. Electricity generation from bio sources accounts for 120 TWh in 2050. In the POTEnCIA CETO 2O25 Scenario, the importance of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) increases steadily towards 2O5O. Through BECCS applications (mainly CHP plants), the from bio sources in the EU up to 2050. After a decrease in the midterm (2030-2035) compared to 2025, centralised heat generation from bio sources increases again towards the end of the time
