Renewable energy systems, especially wind and solar, will grow more than tenfold over the next decades requiring investments of hundreds of billion euros. Substantial share of onshore capacity will be built on forestland. Forestland forms a critical land infrastructure for the renewable energy systems with a scope for remarkable additional forest-based revenue. Further, forest residues and forest-based biogenic carbon will play a significant role in future energy solutions.

Dasos forestlands provide a unique infrastructure for “BiodWind” and “BiodSolar” where forest and biodiversity loss do not take place. These negative impacts may result either from construction of renewable energy production facilities or from related power line. Dasos “BiodWind” and “BiodSolar” provide clean energy where biodiversity and forest loss impacts are avoided, mitigated and finally offset.
