    Webinar: Can Wood-Pellet Biomass Electricity be Sustainable? Examining Supply Chain and Market Impacts

    Modern woody biomass energy has been around for more than 100 years, yet the global wood-pellet biomass electric industry has only started growing significantly and receiving a lot of attention in the last decade . The global wood-pellet market, for both thermal and electricity generation, is projected to grow at a rate of 8.6% CAGR for the next 4 years, largely as a result of European legislation, subsidies, global certification programs, and demand for clean renewable energy. The sustainability and carbon footprint of wood-pellet biomass electricity varies case by case as wood sourcing and supply chains differ. Europe is the largest market for wood-pellets for electricity generation, but the Asia-Pacific regions will occupy more of the market share in the coming years, especially in China, India, and Southeast Asia. North America, especially America, is playing an increasingly important role in wood-pellet production for electricity generation that influences other parts of the world and cannot be ignored.

    To stay ahead of the wood-pellet market, which is projected to exceed USD 19 Bn by 2025, investors need to better understand the sustainability of wood-pellet biomass electricity generation. This Boundless webinar will be moderated by Robert Eckard, a Boundless Expert on life cycle modeling for biomass and the Senior Strategy Scientist at Momentum. The webinar’s panelists are Dr. Jennifer Jenkins, VP & Chief Sustainability Officer at Enviva, a prominent wood-pellet biomass company, Charles Levesque, a Boundless Sustainable Forestry Expert and President of Innovative Natural Resource Solutions, LLC, and Dr. Paul Meier, Director of Climate Impact at Boundless Impact Investing. Additionally, Boundless’s climate impact assessment tool and its application to Enviva will be featured. Don’t miss this fascinating discussion on sustainability of wood-pellet biomass electricity.

    Webinar: Inclusive Recovery in U.S. Cities

    The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented global health and societal emergency affecting every corner of the U.S. While metropolitan areas have initially become hotspots for the virus, many American cities will be amongst the hardest hit places from a coronavirus recession.

    The good news, as some have pointed out, is that local governments across the country have leapt into action, setting up emergency small business and nonprofit relief funds. So, how can cities overcome economic distress in a way that provides the opportunity for all residents—especially historically excluded populations—to benefit from and contribute to economic prosperity?

    Please join us on April 15th @10.00-11.45 ET for a discussion of how city government, community leaders, philanthropy and local companies can protect vulnerable populations.

    NOTE: Our platform has a capacity of 3000 attendees. If you are not able to join the webinar, you will automatically be sent a recording.
