Rabobank sees agriculture residues as key for EU’s energy targets

In the Netherlands, Rabobank expects agricultural waste in Europe to become a key feedstock for renewable energy because its extremely low price point will outweigh the practical challenges associated with using it. Using agricultural residues for co-firing with coal rather than more expensive forestry residues means the price savings could be used to offset risk in the residue supply chains. Additionally, agricultural residues could save as much as 80% more GHGs than coal.
