Before the #EPlenary vote, some reflections from 6 years working on #EUBioenergy policies.
TLDR: 1. They're accelerating climate change 2. We're wasting €billions 3. Don't believe a word the biofuel industry lobby says 4. MEPs must end support for burning trees and crops

The EU’s bioenergy policies are a serious threat to the climate. They’re encouraging things that increase emissions compared to fossil fuels, and so they're part of the problem not the solution.
