What is bioenergy? A global problem

Bioenergy may sound green, but it often means burning forests for energy. This is neither sustainable nor climate-friendly. Burning wood releases carbon dioxide, just like burning coal, but felling forests to feed the furnaces also means fewer trees to suck carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. At a time when forest protection and restoration should be at the top of every country’s to-do list, bioenergy power plants are opening up all over the world.

Sorry but your argument is wrong and comes from false premises... First and the most important: EU does not import biomass from uncontrolled felling. Second; the bioenergy sector helps keep forests well managed. In the last years the forest area from EU and EE.UU goes up. And my last argument; when yo make a correct management of the forest like in EU, EE.UU, Canada etc.., the forest has more capacity to fix CO2 and the CO2 from biomass is neutral. The coal is other history my friend...


Other question is the problem in countries without lowers.., but these biomass does not go to the EU market.
