Bioeconomy or biocide? Without limits to biomass use, the EU risks destroying the very biosphere it claims to protect.

BECCS is a #ClimateCon. The IPCC recognizes burying tree carbon doesn’t “remove” CO2 from the atmosphere. #BECCS #Drax

CA’s largest proposed wood-pellet plant is on hold after thousands of public comments and broad science-based opposition. The replacement wood-chipping project will be just as problematic. #climate @NRDC

Burning forests for energy + calling it a “carbon removal” = climate fraud.
40+ NGOs urge the EU to rewrite its CRCF methodologies before they undermine the EU’s forest carbon sink even further.

Burning forest wood is not 'low carbon', is a massive source of #airpollution in the UK, and contributes to the destruction of old growth forests.

The Dutch House has declared biomass & BECCS policies controversial—putting them on hold. No more false climate solutions that harm forests & biodiversity. The caretaker govt is out. Voters decide what’s next. Climate justice, not biomass greenwash. linkedin.com/posts/dr-fenna-…

“a colossal waste of money that actively worsens the climate crisis even with carbon capture”.

Springfield, MA: biomass is back on the table. But burning wood emits more CO₂ than coal per unit of energy. This isn’t clean. It’s a loophole. PFPI says NO to false solutions. #StopBiomass #ClimateScience

H.R.1 is not a budget—it’s an environmental wrecking ball.
Ends clean energy tax credits
Mandates timber extraction
Fast-tracks oil & gas projects
Slashes pollution controls
Blocks judicial review

Logging forests for the #Bioeconomy will degrade them just like logging them for energy does. forestdefenders.eu/the-chemi…
Logging more forests to mitigate climate change doesn’t make sense, but this could happen under the EU #BioeconomyStrategy. Scientists and NGOs have until June 23 to weigh in w/ comments to the European Commission. forestdefenders.eu/the-eu-bi…
Ho hum, another EUSTAFOR attempt to drag everyone back into the past. What do they have against using satellite monitoring of forests? (we can guess, actually...) We need a strong #ForestMonitoringLaw forestdefenders.eu/eustafor-…

THREAD: A few thoughts on today’s biomass (Drax) announcement by the gov.
Overall, clearly @Ed_Miliband & @energygovuk are not overly enthusiastic about wood pellets – on grounds of value for money & sustainability. So, a MUCH more limited role for Drax from 2027-2031.
1/10
"Dying" (literally) over @DraxGroup ad for their new company, "Elimini" - the "lifeboat" company for when Drax goes belly-up. Strangely appropriate imagery, spaceships leaving the planet. Just what Drax CEO wants to do!
Private Eye is online! Another chance to read their brilliant analysis of @DraxGroup 's latest scammy dealings. #Biomass and #BECCS are a #ClimateCon

The news on @DraxGroup just keeps getting worse. Sounds from this fantastic piece in Private Eye that there are a few more shoes to drop... #Biomass is a #CarbonCon
Bioenergy and BECCS "unravel" when you pull a thread, admits former UK Minister. #biomass is a #CarbonCon
