Abstract: Importantly the paper highlights that while both sources are discussed as viable sources of carbon-neutral renewable energy, emerging evidence confirms that it is only forest biomass residues that may reasonably be included in debates on the carbon neutrality of biomass energy feedstocks. Explicitly distinguishing between the differential contributions that forestry bioenergy feedstocks are making to climate change through carbon emissions should lead to the more appropriate policy and practice settings around forest bioenergy feedstock utilisation into the future. It is also anticipated that this paper will contribute to reducing confusion in what are increasingly polarised debates on ‘good’ or ‘bad’ sources of biomass for bioenergy.
