Potential #IPCC rule changes could award planned carbon savings from burning #wood rather than fossil fuels to the wood exporter, not the importer, as per current EU accounting rules... Accounting is much more policy than science.

@Martin_Pigeon

Interesting. Indeed, BECCS has to count against the harvest & it's effects, at the place of harvest. Then it'll become visible that biomass is burned so much faster than it grows back.

@W_Lucht yes. You can count on the biomass industry and benefiting countries such as the UK to lobby hard against such a change though. Let's hope IPCC scientists are able to resist the pressure!
