Financial Times: Some of the most distinguished scientists in the US have written to UK energy secretary Ed Davey, urging him to abandon the governments misguided subsidies for companies burning wood pellets to generate electricity, such as the Drax plant in Yorkshire. The biologist, Dr E.O. Wilson and Professor Daniel Kammen, an energy adviser to the US State Department, are among 60 signatories to a letter seen by the FT. It warns that UK energy policies are stimulating an explosive growth in wood pellet...

Energy Collective: If I asked you to think of renewable energy what comes to mind? I imagine it is skyscraper-sized wind turbines, solar panels on suburban roofs or massive hydro-electric dams. You probably do not think of burning wood or converting crops to liquid fuel to be used in cars. Yet throughout the world bio-energy remains the biggest source of renewable energy. In fact its growth in the last decade has been greater than or similar to that from wind and solar in most places, and those places include the European...

EPA Loopholes Allow Biomass to Emit More Toxic Air Pollutants Than Coal, Study Says
2014-04-09 18:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: A new study charges that government regulations for biomass plants are riddled with loopholes that allow wood-burning facilities to spew more toxic emissions in the air than coal-fired power plants. The findings are refueling a controversy over whether biomass should be treated by regulators as a renewable energy fuel and able to qualify for green incentives, or be treated as a fossil fuel like coal. The study, conducted by the Massachusetts-based Partnership for Policy Integrity (PFPI), found that...
