Life Cycle Carbon Assessment of Biomass Power Generation
Wood pellets have been hailed as a carbon neutral form of energy, especially in Europe, where pellets are being used to satisfy Paris Agreement requirements to reduce carbon emissions. However, pellet production can result in additional biomass harvests that reduce the amount of carbon stored in forests.
Marin Jurisdictional Carbon Accounting
Jurisdictional Carbon Accounting and Management is the process of measuring, reporting, and managing greenhouse gas emissions and removals within a region. The Forest and Agriculture team has worked across the United States and in numerous other countries to measure greenhouse gas emissions and support decision making in order to limit carbon emissions.
Life Cycle Assessment Report
West Forest LLC, has undertaken the development of a composite wood panel production facility in northern California. As part of this initiative, and in collaboration with TSS Consultants, SIG joined the project to conduct a comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) life cycle assessment (LCA) analysis for specific wood products
Can You Fight Climate Change By Burning Wood? It’s Complicated
Wood grown in the United States is being ground up, dried out, pressed into pellets, and shipped to Europe, where power plants burn it to make electricity.
Is this good for the planet?
With Biomass Energy, The Carbon Savings Are In the Details
Biomass energy, Michael Moore’s new documentary Planet of the Humans faces criticism from environmentalists for using outdated data and simplistic analyses on renewables.
