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.

leave the boreal forests alone. they are an important tool in the fight against climate change. there's no easy fix to the carbon crisis, but releasing more carbon by burning wood pellets is just dumb.
One of the main products of Ontario’s forest biomass industry is wood pellets, which are marketed as a clean energy alternative, but wood pellets are dirtier than coal at the smokestack.

Having used pellet stoves myself, I found that the problems caused by burning pellets made it not worth it.
Why not support innovative technological solutions to build jobs and preserve the environment, instead of causing yet more damage? or is this just an easy way out?
Don’t be deceived by the illusion that wood pellets are a better and greener source of energy. If they are produced from whole logs, which is how the companies are making them primarily, this can be more polluting and worse for greenhouse gas emissions than coal and oil.

As a retired high school science teacher and climate activist, I urge you to not expand Ontario's biomass industry. Unfortunately, the demand for wood pellets is already resulting in trees being cut down just to make pellets. The idea that all pellets are made from mill waste is false.

The wood pellet industry is a false climate solution that is dirtier than coal at the smokestack, and it should not be expanded. This is not the green energy project that Canada and the world needs.
Expanding the wood pellet industry is not a forward thinking or clean energy solution. It is burning a carbon-based material to produce power which is counterproductive to meeting ‘green’ energy goals.

S’il vous plaît. Nous vous demandons de cesser de développer l'industrie des granulés de bois - c'est une fausse solution climatique qui est plus sale que le charbon à la cheminée.
Wood pellets are NOT a clean energy alternative and continuing to deforest the land will only contribute to our climate crisis.
I urge you to STOP this Forest Biomass Action Plan immediately.
Solid research has shown that only municipal and agricultural waste is sustainable for biofuel. Harvesting mature is a net loss to GHG emissions. It takes from 30 - 100 years for tree seedlings to mature, losing the sequestration of GHG's over that period.
