Just a reminder: The #bioenergy industry is claiming to burn "forestry residues". This is the photographic evidence from across Europe (& US).
Looks like trees to me.
@TimmermansEU needs to end this

(1/7)Today the EU Commission’s JRC published an important study, providing further evidence why burning forest biomass must no longer be supported as RE: It found that 19 out of the 24 current sourcing practices for bioenergy pose a risk to either climate or biodiversity, or both

(2/7) Amongst the lose-lose practices is the use of “coarse woody debris”. The only pathways that might be deemed acceptable are scenarios using “fine woody debris” (3,5,7) below a threshold and two involving afforestation on former agricultural land (18,19).

(3/7)This is what “fine woody debris” looks like. Nobody collects this stuff off the forest floor to run a power station on it.
