WFAE climate reporter David Boraks fills us in on wood pellets, harvested in North Carolina and shipped to Europe for use as fuel. Is that an environmental double whammy?

Australia has decided that electricity generated by burning wood pellets can no longer be considered renewable energy. The order adds to questions about the future of wood pellet production across the southern U.S. and the region's forests.

"I cant applaud the effort of how our community got this effort and made this happen more," Clear Sky Madison founder Jim Tibbetts said Nov. 16.

"Theres a lot that we dont know about biomass production. That to me is alarming," said Penrose Environmental Consulting LLC President Dave Penrose.

The European Union is considering changes to its climate policies that could have a big effect on a controversial segment of North Carolina's forestry sector — the wood pellet industry.

The European Parliament is taking steps to reverse climate policies that promote the use of wood pellets to replace coal in power plants. That would put the brakes on a controversial industry that's booming in the Southeast.
