CO2 emissions from Danish bioenergy use are almost half the total net GHG emissions.
The majority of bioenergy used in Denmark is important. So, how is it possible to know if it is "carbon neutral"?
Note: Bioenergy emissions are reported as a "memo" & not allocated to GHG emissions.

As a result of all this, there will be zero need for gas or nuclear or bioenergy in California in 5 years.
Plus, there is another 3 GW of transmission being built to bring in 3.5 GW of new wind from New Mexico to California. Such wind will be considered part of the California ISO grid

But what is the harvest used for?
Most is used for bioenergy, then pulp & paper, with less than 20% going into long-lived products.
A lot of the bioenergy is used for pulp & paper, overall, making pulp & paper quite important in Finland.

Right. Burning biofuels/bioenergy emits CO2 to the atmosphere just like burning fossil fuels. Yes, that CO2 was recently sequestered by plant growth. But bioenergy also increases human demand for biomass on top of growing demands like food & timber, increasing CO2 emissions from land use change.

Use of SAF is key, but the Advertising Standards Authority said it still generates 'significant' emissions and its production can have "wider environmental costs and trade-offs".

Reminder: on the vast majority of the world’s land, the useable energy output of solar would exceed the useable energy output of bioenergy per hectare by more than 100:1 🔌💡
Given that 40% of US corn is used for ethanol and solar yields 30x the gross energy and over 100x the net energy per acre in even the best corn growing land, this is completely incorrect

Correct. On the vast majority of the world's land, solar would produce 100x or more the useable energy per hectare vs. bioenergy. Meaning 1 hectare for energy, 99 hectares left over for food. (Also, solar farms don't necessarily need to be put on farmland, but crops do.)
"No solar farms on prime farmland"? My dude, you are growing fuel corn. A single field of solar replaces several fields of fuel corn which means THERE WILL BE MORE PRIME FARMLAND to use for FOOD.
