The consumption of biomass for heating and electricity in the EU has grown significantly since 2005. According to the data provided in the National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs) prepared by individual EU countries, biomass consumption for heating and electricity is expected to increase from 86.5 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) in 2012 to 110.5 Mtoe in 2020. While most of the EU's solid biomass consumption will still be met by domestic supplies, a supply gap of about 21.4 Mtoe is projected for 2020.
