We know that burning biomass is not a real climate solution. And yet, Nova Scotia’s forests are still being run through the chipper to feed the corporate appetite for biomass energy.
Worse still, provincial regulations allow companies to count the energy produced from burning trees as green and renewable. It’s time for the Houston government to get real about the impacts of burning biomass. Use the form below to send a message to provincial decision makers, demanding that they:
-
Remove biomass from the Renewable Electricity Standards and count the greenhouse gases that are emitted when biomass is burned.
-
Reject any new, large-scale biomass energy projects.
-
Restrict forest biomass to sawmill residuals and woodlot thinning to ensure that our forests will not be sacrificed.
