Burning biomass is considered "climate neutral" since the forests eventually absorb the carbon again. But in the timeframe we have for reaching the Paris Agreement - and avoid setting off irreversible feedback loops - this is nowhere near the case. 2/3 — PolitiTweet.org

The heavily subsidised energy plant Drax is the biggest single source of CO2 in the UK and third biggest in Europe. But the emissions are not included in the UK emissions. This loophole is unfortunately what many international climate targets rely on. 1/3 https://t.co/NkHdFxLZrM — PolitiTweet.org

"A 2018 study estimated it would take 40-100 years or more for forests to recapture the carbon emissions from burning the wood pellets, if ever, because forests are subject to hazards like disease and fires." This is one of many loopholes making net zero targets insufficient. 3/3 — PolitiTweet.org
