I have some big issues with biomass.
a) it emits CO2
b) It causes deforestation
c) they often say it’s leftover or unusable wood, but they cut down whole forests
It’s a marketing scam, it’s far from been ‘”green”.
Agreed. I don’t consider it a renewable or sustainable energy source. For one thing, climate change is increasing erosion and depleting oxygen levels and water supplies. It isn’t “when clear cut areas grow back” it’s more like “if they grow back at all.”
Steve MacLellan It is one of the reasons why BECCS is much criticized by scientists.
The other one is the astronomical quantity of CO2 needs to be extracted and “safely” stored underground.
Kevin Anderson (for one) has much reserves on BECCS.
