“While the Federal Government is under pressure to reduce carbon emissions to tackle climate change, NSW industry groups have been invited to further consider burning forest timber for electricity, also known as biomass.
Biomass has been declared a carbon-neutral renewable energy by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), but scientists and conservationists disagree on its worth.
There is a groundswell of opposition internationally to biomass, with opponents arguing it is a falsehood based on flawed accounting.”
