Please stop the expansion of the forest biomass industry. Wood pellets are not a clean energy alternative. And this is NOT a circular economy Ontario and other provinces are logging whole trees from first growth forests to meet the demand for wood pellets. Lire davantage

False climate solutions, that’s what cutting down forests for energy is. This is what makes the biomass debate so urgent, and so dangerous. The Ontario government is on the brink of expanding their biomass industry, which includes chopping down boreal forests to produce electricity. Lire davantage

The forestry industry is marketing wood pellets (biomass) as a climate solution to replace fossil fuels, but burning wood pellets is dirtier than coal at the smokestack. Lire davantage

According to this report prepared by the Southern Environmental Law Center, carbon emissions from the DRAX power plant in the UK are and will remain, significantly above the UK’s emission standard for coal stations converted to biomass of 285kgCO2e/MWh, unless a maximum of 8% of the source feed Lire davantage

Seriously? Logging forests to produce fuel to replace fossil fuels? How can that possibly make sense to anybody who cares about turning our climate crisis around. This must not go on!

I hope that Ontario will not follow BC's mistaken steps of clear cutting your forest to produce needed energy. Increasing deforestation is not a climate solution nor an energy producer, it is a short Lire davantage

Using wood products or expanding the wood byproduct industry is a step in the wrong direction in terms of progress and sustainability. Use of wood in all capacities should be a declining practice. Thank you

Increasing deforestation as a climate solution is not viable. While the government and industry claim that only waste wood is used to manufacture wood pellets, more whole trees from primary, boreal forests are being logged to meet the demands of this growing industry. Lire davantage

One of the main products of Ontario’s forest biomass industry is wood pellets. Wood pellets are marketed as a clean energy alternative, but we know that wood pellets are dirtier than coal at the smokestack. Lire davantage

Burning wood only makes sense if it is wood that would have been burned without capturing the energy generated. If you choose to burn wood for electricity, there must be strict controls to prevent burning of trees that were cut down just to be burned. Lire davantage

With our limited resources, it does make sense for us to invest in biomass energy. Biomass works by burning one of our most valuable carbon sinks, trees. And oftentimes, this causes more carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere, the opposite of what we need to slow climate change. Lire davantage

Re: Biomass and forest waste expansion and regulatory slack in Ontario. It's a scam. Quebec has a multi tens of millions loading facility on the St Lawrence sending ships of chips to the UK to be burned in old coal plants. It's transparent and controversial over there too. Lire davantage
