Groundwork Data researched the role of bioenergy in New England’s clean energy transition for Conservation Law Foundation. Michael J. Walsh and Jonathan Krones examined feedstocks, production pathways, and their environmental and economic tradeoffs.

The engagement produced a report intended to help readers distinguish limited uses of bioenergy from proposals to use it as a broad replacement for fossil fuels.
