To power its green transition, the EU is burning millions of tons of wood pellets every year, shipped in from the US and Canada. Europe is cutting down forests halfway around the world, grinding them into pellets and shipping them across the Atlantic to burn in its power stations. Unsurprisingly, the total emissions here are higher than simply burning coal, according to studies by the EU's own scientific advisors. But countries like the UK, Denmark and the Netherlands do it anyway, because it technically counts as zero carbon emissions. Carbon Loophole: Why Is Wood Burning Counted as Green Energy? "Ecologists say that the claims of carbon neutrality, which are accepted by the European Union and the British government, do not stand up to scrutiny" #klimaat #zwendel #groenbedrog
