Forest preservation and restoration should be key tools for achieving this goal and simultaneously helping to address our global biodiversity crisis.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scientists&nbsp;emphasize that&nbsp;numerous studies&nbsp;have shown that burning of wood will increase warming for decades to centuries, even when the wood replaces coal, oil or natural gas. For each kilowatt hour of heat or electricity produced, using wood initially is likely to add two to three times as much carbon to the air as using fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scientists write:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;To avoid these harms, governments must end subsidies and other incentives that today exist for the burning of wood whether from their forests or others. The European Union needs to stop treating the burning of biomass as carbon neutral in its renewable energy standards and in its emissions trading system.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 and thereby end the huge subsidies that are driving the explosion in demand for wood pellets, which is driving forest degradation and biodiversity loss both in the EU, the US, Canada and East Asia. The letter, addressed to European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen and US President Biden, calls on the leaders to \u2013 instead \u2013 invest in mechanisms to protect forests as crucial carbon sinks and defend the biodiversity they harbour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrdc.org\/sites\/default\/files\/burnout-eu-clean-energy-policies-forest-destruction-ip.pdf\">Research by the consultancy Trinomics&nbsp;<\/a>has shown that the EU member states plus the UK spend around \u20ac6.5 billion per year directly subsidising forest bioenergy. The huge subsidie are driving the explosion in demand for wood pellets, which is driving forest degradation and biodiversity loss both in the EU, the US, Canada and East Asia. The scientists warn the leaders in the letter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Your decisions going forward are of great consequences for the world\u2019s forests because if the world supplied just an additional 2% of its energy from wood, it would need to double its commercial wood harvests.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The letter is signed by over 500 scientists, of which over 40 scientists are based in Sweden.

The Directive<\/a>&nbsp;is being revised this year to reflect higher climate and, potentially, renewable energy targets ahead of the UNFCCC COP26 meeting this November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Currently, the EU directive treats wood burning as carbon neutral, meaning that it counts towards Member States\u2019 renewable energy targets. However, the scientists note, there is huge evidence that burning wood \u2013 even in cases where trees are re-planted \u2013 increases concentrations of carbon dioxide (and other harmful greenhouses gases and pollutants) for many decades \u2013 even centuries. Tree regrowth is simply too slow to offset the emissions generated when wood burns quickly enough to help keep global temperature rise to 1.5\u00b0C and stop runaway climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 On top of the EU consultation, there are official reviews of bioenergy policy underway in the Netherlands (where a phase-out has been recommended) and Denmark. Outside the EU, the UK is the largest importer of wood pellets in the world and is also launching a consultation on \u201cBiomass for Net Zero\u201d this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 The intervention is urgent \u2013 as without reform to the EU directive and\/or member state action \u2013 a higher renewables target could see the demand for wood pellets sky-rocket. Public pressure is also mounting for the EU to stop backing tree burning as a climate solution.
