FACT-CHECKING BIOMASS

The Counter-example in video by the industrial Biomass lobby! 

Three European deputies, during their stay in Guiana, have shot and broadcasted a video on social networks, in front of the Cacao-city sawmill, coupled with a biomass plant:

We can see on a conveyor belt of poorly cut boards that are part of the thousands of tons of sawmill waste that feed, in a virtuous way, partly biomass plants. The Deputy Christophe Grudler cleverly insinuates that without the derogatory amendment 33 that we denounce, this sawmill-power station would not have been able to function as it does!

This is totally inaccurate because sawmill waste has always been considered as a secondary resource, authorized for biomass in Europe and Guiana (RED 2 or RED 3).

What about this desire to misinform and make people believe that, without this amendment 33, ecocidal in more ways than one, allowing the cutting and burning of GuIanese forests, biomass on sawmill waste would no longer be authorized?

[TRANSCRIBING] « We are here in the heart of French Guiana, in front of a sawmill and a biomass plant that actually recovers all the wastes from the sawmill to produce electricity for the people of Guiana, who need it. This exploitation by recovering the waste of the forestry was only possible by the amendment that we voted in the European Parliament with my colleagues Max Orville and Stéphane Bijoux: the amendment that allows in fact to have an exception for Guiana, so that Guiana can produce from biomass; I remind you anyway that here in Guiana, 96% of the land is forest, so it is necessary to use the resources of the natural forest to be able to make decarbonized electricity.»
