This is ridiculous @WWFEU. When producing i.e. houses using timber (replacing emitting products as steel/cement) there are residues: tops, bark & branches etc. THIS is what being burned for energy in Sweden - not “trees”!
RT @WWFEU: On #IntlForestDay, you’d think the EU would stand up for 🌲🌳, but under pressure from @sweden2023eu it will keep harming climate & nature by supporting tree burning for energy.
The #RenewableEnergyDirective trilogues have to stop this!…

Maybe @WWFSverige want to answer?

3) should we also stop using timber/paper products? If so, what should we replace fossil with?

So I have the following questions:
1) what should we do with the branches? Left emitting in the forest?
2) the biomass replaced coal in the first place, what should the Swedish district heating systems use instead? Coal? Waste? Gas?
