As of today, it is the turn of the House of Representatives to put a stop to this and to turn this into recovery of Climate and Biodiversity and a truly sustainable, emission-free energy transition,&#8217; says Fenna Swart, chair of the Clean Air Committee, who speaks on behalf of the &#8216;International Nature Coalition Forests are no Fuel&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"997\" src=\"https:\/\/comiteschonelucht.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-16.07.19-1024x997.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comiteschonelucht.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-16.07.19-1024x997.png 1024w, https:\/\/comiteschonelucht.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-16.07.19-768x748.png 768w, https:\/\/comiteschonelucht.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-16.07.19.png 1464w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The cabinet has committed to opening up the subsidy scheme (SDE++ round 2025) for CO2 capture and storage at biomass power stations, in the context of the so-called climate measure biomass combustion with CCS, abbreviated BECCS. This led to major criticism from (inter)national nature organisations. Not only because of major objections due to the threat to forests and biodiversity, but also renowned (scientific) institutions such as EASAC, KNAW, JRC and the United Nations indicate that BECCS does not deliver the claimed negative emissions across the entire chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/comiteschonelucht.nl\/verstandiger-met-hout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Clean Air Committee, also on behalf of the international NGOs Client Earth and FERN, published a guideline (Wiser with Wood)<\/a>\u00a0with measures and solutions to achieve a sustainable Dutch policy for Climate and Biodiversity, including a real, emission-free energy transition.
