Fuel switching to biomass is the lowest cost way for industry to reduce emissions. It also supports the Ontario forest industry by providing a much needed market for low grade wood- as identified in the forest biomass action plan. IPCC and IEA have both recognized the need to increase bioenergy to meet emissions goals. WHY would the Ontario government ban it??? Please revist the forest sector strategy and biomass action plan to understand the importance of a market its role in reducing industrial emissions and reconsider this proposed change to the regulations. On what basis is biomass being disallowed?
