| Abstract | Many significant pieces of work have been undertaken to assess UK “2nd generation” bioenergy feedstock production potential. The RELB project was undertaken to help refine and sense-check these existing estimates, including the ETI’s own in-house modelling assumptions, in order to understand what further ‘correction factors’ (if any) may need to be applied to adjust existing estimates. In addition, the project aimed to better understand the process for converting land to 2nd generation bioenergy feedstocks and the impact planting these feedstocks could have on farm businesses. The RELB project had four distinct work packages:
