“The huge expansion in so-called ‘modern’ biomass, doubling the current levels by 2030 and trebling them by 2050, is dangerous and unacceptable. It would exacerbate the climate crisis whilst also harming communities and biodiversity, and we already have numerous examples of its adverse impacts.” “Planning to ally energy production from biomass burning with carbon […]

Read MoreDuring the press conference we will outline why Big Biomass should not be considered acceptable renewable energy, or be included in Global RE Targets. Come find out more about why biomass is carbon-emitting, drives deforestation and forest degradation, entrenches coal use when co-fired as a form of “abatement”, and is injurious to health and […]
