We must phase out all fossil fuels immediately, but we cannot replace them with other destructive high-carbon fuels. The science is clear: we need to decrease our emissions at source, while simultaneously increasing the forest carbon stock. Burning forest biomass does the opposite: over the all-important next years and decades, it will both increase emissions and decrease forest carbon stock &#8211; moving enormous amounts of C02 from the forest into the atmosphere,\u201d <\/em><strong>said Lina Burnelius from Protect the Forest Sweden.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;The pledge by the state-owned company Vattenfall to be \u2019fossil free within a generation\u2019 is a textbook example of greenwashing. It certainly sounds good\u00a0 to the general public, who are drowning in a flood of greenwashing and, as a result, believe that words like \u2019net-zero 2045\u2019, \u2019fossil free\u2019, and &#8220;sustainably produced biomass&#8221; mean real climate action. However, the term &#8220;fossil free&#8221; is meaningless as long as it does not lead to reduction of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Aiming for this, already inadequate goal, first within a whole generation is totally out of touch with reality. We have years, not decades, to make the drastic and necessary change that is needed. The fact that a state-owned energy company is deliberately &#8211; and publically &#8211; sacrificing our future is a complete betrayal,&#8221; <\/em><strong>said Greta Thunberg, Fridays for Future Sweden.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Brussels, <strong>Martin Pigeon, Forests &amp; Climate campaigner with Fern<\/strong>, an NGO defending forests and the rights of people depending on them, said:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cVattenfall has been <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Fern_NGO\/status\/1640360631759958016\"><em>lobbying<\/em><\/a><em> in Brussels against any meaningful reform of the EU\u2019s biomass rules, which currently reward energy companies for burning forests in the middle of a climate and biodiversity crisis. This short-sighted and irresponsible campaign was <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fern.org\/publications-insight\/new-eu-biomass-rules-a-crushing-defeat-for-forests-pushed-by-eu-member-states-2653\/\"><em>partly successful <\/em><\/a><em>thanks to the Swedish government abusing its role as the then Presidency of the EU Council. We demand that Vattenfall stops investing in forest destruction and greenwashing such destruction<\/em>.<em>\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Campaigners across Europe are calling on Vattenfall to immediately cancel its plans for new wood bioenergy capacity, to abandon its wood pellet and woodchip trading activities and to rapidly phase out all of its coal, gas, and biomass burning and replace it with non-emissive truly renewable energy and investments in energy conservation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIn 2022, under great pressure from nature groups and scientists worldwide, the Dutch Minister of Climate stopped all new biomass subsidies. Vattenfall did not care about this and continued to push for subsidies. Subsequently in 2023, the highest Dutch court annulled the environmental permit of Vattenfall&#8217;s planned biomass power plant in Diemen (near Amsterdam). Yet Vattenfall once again applied for 400 million euros in biomass subsidy. This request was secretly granted by the minister, a year after he had issued a ban. The Clean Air Committee has appealed this decision. Vattenfall continues to be silent about its subsidies and biomass plans and systematically refuses to be open about where it wants to procure wood from. The claimed sustainability of the biomass is therefore completely unverifiable and misleading,\u201d<\/em> <strong>said<\/strong> <strong>Fenna Swart of the Clean Air Committee (Comite Schone Lucht).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cVattenfall wants to see ever more wood being burned in heat and power plants in Berlin. The amount of wood burned <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nabu.de\/imperia\/md\/content\/nabude\/energie\/240220-nabu-holzverbrennung-infopapier-berlin.pdf\"><em>is to increase from around 100,000 tonnes a year at present to as much as 1.6 million tonnes in 2030<\/em><\/a><em>. That is a 1,600 % increase! Anything the operators can get hold of would be burned. Most of the wood already comes directly from the forest, a small amount comes from Short Rotation Coppicing plantations, and, in future, some waste wood would also be burned. This would require domestic as well as imported wood. In Germany, available wood is becoming scarcer, and forests are already badly damaged from recent years of drought. Increased competition with wood products industries can be expected,<em>\u201c<\/em> <\/em><strong>said<\/strong> <strong>Jana Ballenthien from ROBIN WOOD.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>Vattenfall boasts about being a leader in the energy transition, yet it is transitioning away from fossil fuels far too slowly,\u00a0 while locking regions in different countries into long-term dependence on district heating from high-carbon, environmentally harmful wood burning,\u201d <\/em>said <strong>Almuth Ernsting from Biofuelwatch.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cVattenfall has signed a contract to sell its heat network and plants to the city of Berlin. Berlin must now find a better path than the current one, which harms climate and species, while Vattenfall gets out of its responsibilities by selling instead of transitioning,\u201d <\/em><strong>Jana Ballenthien from ROBIN WOOD, adds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photos <\/strong>from Sweden, Germany, Netherlands and the UK can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/18wD80kgEnAJrtxue_USYAwd-YpqLu_qB?usp=share_link\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Additional reading and key materials&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flyer in the form of a Greenwashing-bingo<\/strong> is uploaded <a href=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/vattenfail-flyer.png\">here<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Open letter <\/strong>sent to Vattenfall on the 24th of April 2024:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/open-letter-to-vattenfail-april-2024-.pdf\">https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/open-letter-to-vattenfail-april-2024-.pdf<br><br><\/a><strong>Opinion piece<\/strong> in Aftonbladet on the 24th of April 2024: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aftonbladet.se\/debatt\/a\/PprV4J\/klimatorganisationer-vattenfall-maste-sluta-branna-fossila-branslen\">Klimatorganisationer: Vattenfall m\u00e5ste sluta br\u00e4nna br\u00e4nslen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Briefing<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biofuelwatch.org.uk\/2022\/vattenfall-biomass-briefing\/\">VATTENFALL\u2019S WOOD BIOENERGY INVESTMENTS AND PLANS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contacts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lina Burnelius<\/strong>, Protect the Forest Sweden<br><a href=\"mailto:lina.burnelius@skyddaskogen.se\">lina.burnelius@skyddaskogen.se<\/a>, +46734404793<br><br><strong>Martin Pigeon<\/strong>, Fern, Belgium, +32 484 671 909<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Almuth Ernsting<\/strong>, Biofuelwatch, UK<br><a href=\"mailto:biofuelwatch@gmail.com\">biofuelwatch@gmail.com<\/a>, +44-1316232600<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fenna Swart<\/strong>, Comite Schone Lucht, NL<br><a href=\"mailto:fenna@comiteschonelucht.nl\">fenna@comiteschonelucht.nl<\/a>, + 31 (0)6 415 14 330<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jana Ballenthien,<\/strong> ROBIN WOOD, GER<br><a href=\"mailto:wald@robinwood.de\">wald@robinwood.de<\/a>, +49 (0) 4038089211<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In coinciding with the Swedish state-owned energy company Vattenfall\u2019s Annual General Meeting (AGM), banner protests are taking place in Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK.
