The bioenergy industry is a proven option to replace fossil fuels in the heat supply and partly in the transport sector and generation of electricity. The study aims to investigate the empirical model of whether bioenergy use and institutional quality increase forest destruction in the European Union 28 countries covering the period 1990–2018, using the pooled ordinary least squares (pooled OLS), fixed effect, random effect, and least square dummy variable corrected. The findings indicate that bioenergy use within an institutional framework significantly contributes to a reduction in forest degradation regardless of the development status of countries in the region. This shows that efficient institutions and governments can significantly contribute to reducing forest degradation in the region especially in developed countries. Thus, policy-makers should stimulate the sustainability criteria of bioenergy application end-uses, intensify the quality of institutions, and ensure bioenergy use under effective governance.

生物能源行业是替代供热，部分交通运输和发电中的化石燃料的行之有效的选择。这项研究旨在使用合并的最小二乘方（固定OLS），固定效应，随机效应和最小效应，研究1990年至2018年期间欧盟28个国家中生物能源的利用和机构质量是否会增加森林破坏的经验模型。校正的平方虚拟变量。研究结果表明，无论该区域各国的发展状况如何，在体制框架内使用生物能源都将大大有助于减少森林退化。这表明，高效的机构和政府可以为减少该地区尤其是发达国家的森林退化做出重大贡献。因此，
