These might turn out to look quite different in the future, if carbon-accounting under the Emissions Trading System (ETS) were to be based on science and the real effects on climate. Much of the biomass employed in Europe is anything but carbon neutral. Labelling forest biomass as renewable has a perverse impact on the climate.
