Win-win or lose-lose : EU scientists highlight two-faced bioenergy policies

Around 14% of bioenergy used in Europe is of unknown origin, according to an EU report, which highlights the need to improve the tracing of wood burned for electricity production. The report by the European Commission’s in-house research centre also uncovered a 20% gap between the reported use of biomass in sectors like furniture or construction and other reported uses. This gap “can be almost entirely attributed to energy use,” said the EU’s Joint Research Centre, based in Ispra, Italy. The report, published on 26 January, highlights both “win-win” forest management practices but also “lose-lose” situations where bioenergy exacerbates climate change and damages forest ecosystems.

Darlington Rotary Club award students for their efforts

Jack Palmer from Wyvern Academy who won one of the Austin Book awards A DARLINGTON student who is proactive and has a passion for trains is one of the many students awarded in the Darlington Rotary Club s Austin Brooks Youth Day Awards last year. Jack Palmer, from Wyvern Academy, won one of the awards as recognition for his efforts at his school breakfast club and the Stockton and Darlington Railway Youth Team. Mrs Ruth Hampson, assistant headteacher at Wyvern Academy, said: I think he’s very happy that he’s had some recognition for all the stuff that he does, because he’s Jack, and that’s what Jack does, and it’s nice to have some recognition of the fact that we do notice it all, it’s not just assumed he will do.

Why CEE s rural communities need an alternative to burning wood for fuel

Indeed the report finds that most of the forest biomass currently being burnt for energy in the EU not only increases emissions compared to fossil fuels, but does so for decades placing in peril the EU’s net zero emissions target for 2050 and the chances of stopping runaway climate change. According to the Commission, the burning of biomass emits more than 350 million tonnes of CO2 per year throughout the EU. Ironically, however, EU energy policy currently incentivises burning the type of biomass the Commission’s report shows is dangerous and counter to EU climate policy, which, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), fails to draw the conclusion that current energy policy should be changed.
