"'Most companies and governments completely ignore the
carbon-dioxide emissions from burning, because they say new
trees will grow back and absorb all the carbon again,' said
Almuth Ernsting, director of campaigning group Biofuelwatch. 'In reality, it takes minutes to burn a tree and many decades
for a new tree to grow back and absorb all the carbon again' ... Companies burning biomass
don’t need to buy carbon credits to offset their emissions under
the EU Emissions Trading System as the fuel is considered
carbon-neutral."
