A Dijon, 4e ville la plus verte de France, les réseaux de chaleur biomasse « bas carbone » sont censés décarboner la chaleur, avec par exemple la centrale biomasse de Dalkia , la chaufferie des Péjoces.
Cependant, de très nombreux éléments scientifiques démontrent que cette neutralité carbone du bois énergie est erronée et que la combustion du bois accélère de façon massive le changement changement climatique, contrairement au stock de carbone dans les forêts, au stock de carbone dans le bois matériau et au biochar qui améliore les sols agricoles.
Il est donc urgent de s’attaquer au greenwashing des réseaux de chaleur biomasse de Dijon.
Betrug im Betrug:
Schon die Zulassung von sog. #UER-Zertifikaten war ein Betrug am #Klimaschutz. Dass die #Ölkonzerne mit diesem #Greenwashing-Instrument dann auch noch mal betrogen haben, indem sie Projekte anmeldeten, die gar nicht existierten, überrascht nur bedingt.
Producent majonezu kieleckiego wycina szpaler drzew bo zasłaniają słońce dla budowanej farmy fotowoltaiki. #greenwashing --> wykazują, że fotowoltaika jest eko zatem wycinka drzew zasadna.
The documentary was not broadcast in #Canada. Hansen said the reason B.C.’s wood pellet industry is a focus in #UnitedKingdom is the #Drax Power Station in #England.
@justafrog Monocrop tree planting is part of ongoing government & #deforestation industry #greenwashing#lies.
Clearcuts in BC look like apocalyptic wastelands. Companies don't do proper cleanups & fuel from heavy machinery has leaked into waterways. Glysophate spraying has killed many plants & insects & toxins leak into soil/waterways.
Both clearcuts & G-sprays have decimated longtime food/medicine forests & wild food gardens that Indigenous peoples have depended upon for many generations.
Thanks to #DW for producing this comprehensive debunking of the "#hydrogen future".
It's ridiculous how many companies are peddling this stupidity (e.g. for home boilers because "we already have gas pipes") and #EU governments are buying into it.
Zukran claims these stores sell bags they advertise as recyclable when they aren't.
The class action, filed against #Dollarama, the Société des alcools du Québec (Quebec’s version of the LCBO), #Rona, #Metro, McKesson (which owns Rexall), Giant Tiger, Toys “R” Us and #Costco, has been authorized by a Quebec Superior Court judge.
A new and silent land grab is underway – we must stop it - By Ian Scoones, Angela Serrano, originally published by Open Democracy May 20, 2024
“For us peasants, land is not just an investment or something we own, but is part of our lives and our existence”, said...the Network of Farmers’ Organisations & Agricultural Producers of West Africa at a meeting co-convened by the Land Deal Politics Initiative...and activists concerned about the rise of land, water and green grabs.
...Participants of the meeting agreed that policy debates on land have...been stuck in the hallowed halls of the UN or government bureaucracies, where they are captured by market demands, such as offsetting. The subsequent ‘solutions’ then end up incompatible with local livelihoods, failing to consider food-provisioning, as well as people’s cultures, histories and intimate connections with nature..."
"Major oil companies have in recent years made splashy climate pledges to cut their greenhouse gas #emissions and take on the #climate crisis, but a new report suggests those plans do not stand up to scrutiny.
The US firms Chevron, ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil each ranked “grossly insufficient” on all 10 criteria."
The greenwashing gets sneakier all the time, but it's especially gross when gas companies promote gas as providing "clean air quality" (it's the opposite) in homes for disadvantaged folks via Habitats for Humanity.
@Hypx Another announcement of a #vaporware project for #bamboozling investors into funding some more #greenwashing. Wonderful.
🤮
And I say that as a big fan of both renewable energy and aviation. But this won't work on so many levels.
"Traditional" #SAF aren't great, either, but still vastly more practical, and, at least mid-term, a lot greener than typical hydrogen, and compared to actual "green" hydrogen, dirt cheap.
In the meantime a material scientist that I really admired is hosting a Rio Tinto-sponsored podcast about 'sustainable materials' (not linking because I don't want to promote it). If you wonder how #greenwashing happens and why sometimes people don't trust experts.
As usual, #IMF enforcing capitalists' debts over #Pakistan by forcing #austerity over a #ClimateCrisis stricken country, while (2 years on) promised funds by international banks remain #Greenwashing stunts.
'..why there has been a delay, Mr Ye said that the amount pledged was for reconstruction.. "..the new climate risk profile and the possibility that these areas may be flooded again,”...'
A US push to use #ethanol as aviation fuel raises major climate concerns
"The IRA offers a tax credit of $1.25 per gallon for SAFs that are 50% lower in #Emissions than standard #JetFuel, [but] A 2022 EPA analysis surveyed the findings from a variety of models that estimate the life-cycle emissions of #corn-based ethanol and found that in seven out of 20 cases, they exceeded 80% of the climate pollution from gasoline and diesel."
"There is currently “no realistic or scalable alternative” to standard kerosene-based #JetFuel, and touted “sustainable aviation fuels” are well off track to replace them in a timeframe needed to avert dangerous climate change, despite public subsidies."
“It’s a huge #greenwashing exercise by the #aviation industry. It’s magical thinking that they will be able to do this.”
