Nothing Neutral Here: Large-scale biomass subsidies in the UK and the role of the EU ETS PDF Print E-mail
Carbon Trade Watch | Sunday, 13 May 2012
NothingNeutralHere.gifEarlier this month Brazilian pulp and paper giant Suzano Papel e Celulose gained approval for the world’s most advanced trial of genetically modified (GM) trees to meet the global demands of biomass energy expansion.

The report links the demand for biomass in the UK, the role of the EU’s Emissions Trading System and the destructive expansion of industrial monoculture tree plantations around the world.
