Dutch to limit forest biomass subsidies, possibly signaling EU sea change

Dutch to limit forest biomass subsidies, possibly signaling EU sea change by Justin Catanoso on 9 March 2021 The Dutch Parliament in February voted to disallow the issuing of new subsidies for 50 planned forest biomass-for-heat plants, a small, but potentially key victory for researchers and activists who say that the burning of forests to make energy is not only not carbon neutral, but is dirtier than burning coal and bad climate policy. With public opinion opposing forest biomass as a climate solution now growing in the EU, the decision by the Netherlands could be a bellwether. In June, the EU will review its Renewable Energy Directive (RED II), whether to continue allowing biomass subsidies and not counting biomass emissions at the smokestack.

Red Alert for Planet as UN Report Projects Only 0 5% Emissions Cut by 2030

521 views Alexas Fotos/Pixabay An initial snapshot of countries’ latest carbon reduction promises, released Friday by the United Nations climate secretariat, shows global greenhouse gas emissions on track to fall just 0.5% between 2010 and 2030, prompting Secretary-General António Guterres to declare a “red alert” in a year that was supposed to be a make-or-break moment for climate action. Nearly 2½ years after scientists called for a 45% emissions reduction by the end of this decade, the paltry results so far make the Initial NDC Synthesis Report from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) “a red alert for our planet,” Guterres said in a release. “It shows governments are nowhere close to the level of ambition needed to limit climate change to 1.5°C and meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.”
