Even more comical, Europeans have come up with a green name for the practice of cutting down a tree and burning it for energy – they call it “biomass.”
It gets even funnier. It’s trees in the United States that are being cut down, then reduced to little wood pellets, then shipped across the Atlantic on petroleum-burning tankers, then burned in European furnaces to produce energy. They call this green and sustainable, even though the carbon emissions from this process dwarf those of nuclear energy and domestically drilled natural gas.
Europe Rethinks Its Reliance on Burning Wood for Electricity [NY Times – 5/17/2022]
In recent years, Europe’s power plants have slashed their use of coal by burning something else instead: Millions of tons of wood, much of it imported from the United States.
A controversial European Union policy called the Renewable Energy Directive drove this transition by counting biomass — organic material like wood, burned as fuel — as renewable energy and subsidizing its use. A trans-Atlantic industry developed, logging American forests and processing the material into pellets, which are then shipped to Europe.
