Bioeconomy or biocide? Without limits to biomass use, the EU risks destroying the very biosphere it claims to protect. https://t.co/fciwk7Xc9A

BECCS is a #ClimateCon. The IPCC recognizes burying tree carbon doesn’t “remove” CO2 from the atmosphere. #BECCS #Drax https://t.co/3lkkeJBDEx

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 https://t.co/SKWNC86TSE

Due to public pressure, Golden State Natural Resources’ biomass project shelved.

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. READ: https://t.co/2QzMBG01hJ #StopBECCS #EUClimatePolicy #CRFC

🌲🔥 Reject Continued Subsidies to Drax 🔥🌲 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. https://t.co/lJw5OkIJ2X @TeamPFPI

See our full comments here. While the UK Government has provisionally agreed to give subsidies to Drax, there are still numerous requirements to be met, including review by the Subsidies...

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.

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 https://t.co/JZoO2y6qKg

Logging forests for the #Bioeconomy will degrade them just like logging them for energy does. https://t.co/2Xmo8bhOhI

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. https://t.co/zrl0wJ4RhW

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

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!
