the (tax-payer funded) #bioenergy industry is based on a well-understood carbon accounting error. Woody #biomass was never net zero or low carbon. #stopburningtrees

TELL THE TRUTH: BIOMASS ≠ GREEN
Governments and Corporations be honest: biomass causes irreparable damage to the health of people and our life support systems. Classifying burning trees as renewable is a scam and the Government is making us pay for it.

DEFUND BIOMASS
Remove the £ billions in subsidies given to Drax and other biomass power stations in the UK. This money funds death and destruction around the world, harming POC and poorer communities the most whilst corporations profit. If we stop the money, we stop the destruction.

FUND REAL SOLUTIONS
The £ billions given to biomass should be used to fund a just transition: furlough; retrain and transfer workers in the biomass industry; invest in education, affordable housing and health; fund genuine renewable energy. We must develop a plan of moving away from profit motives, which are fuelling the climate crisis, towards community based solutions.

This year, Drax has enjoyed record profits of £732 million. Meanwhile, the company is estimated to have received £11 billion from the UK government by 2027. Drax is also lobbying the government for even more money to install unproven technology at an estimated cost of £31 billion...

Drax is the UK’s single biggest carbon emitter and the world's largest tree burner... 😱
