Drax received nearly £900m in subsidies in 2024 to burn the world's forests. thetimes.com/uk/environment… #CutCarbonNotForests

We asked MPs - of this new(ish) parliament *only 1️⃣%* of them think that bioenergy will increase the UK's energy independence. 🌳🔥 #CutCarbonNotForests

UK Bioenergy companies are polluting the air of communities where wood pellets are made. youtube.com/watch?v=vTJtWx… #CutCarbonNotForests

Biomass is the UK's 3rd largest fuel import and undermines UK energy security. ember-energy.org/app/uploads/20… #CutCarbonNotForests

The UK's biomass industry is polluting people's air. youtu.be/8MsPlvLuVn8?si… #CutCarbonNotForests

"This is environmental racism". Katherine Egland on the UK biomass industry's pollution of people's air. youtu.be/FS-d97nkVp0?si… #CutCarbonNotForests

"Why are we allowing them to come into our communities"? Dr Krystal Martin on the UK bioenergy companies that get wood pellets from the US southeast. youtu.be/euDZ1YJ9dLc?si… #CutCarbonNotForests

On Thursday 1 May Dr Krystal Martin and Katherine Egland will attend the AGM of Drax, one of the world's largest bioenergy companies, and will share how it pollutes the air of their homes in the United States. youtu.be/vTJtWxYBgEQ?si… #CutCarbonNotForests

Here's Pippa Heylings 🔶️ MP for South Cambridgeshire MP speaking out against bioenergy and Drax in parliament. #CutCarbonNotForests

In a new series we're exploring different renewable energy sources. First up is clean, green, totally 100% sustainable (don't worry, we asked Drax) BIOENERGY. For those who don't know, that's... *checks notes* burning trees in power stations. 🌳🔥 #CutCarbonNotForests

This week we're continuing our delve into bioenergy - a new technology that promises to create 'clean' power by burning forests. #CutCarbonNotForests

The UK burns wood pellets in its power stations. Those wood pellets are made in mills in SE US, often in the heart of, or right next to, communities. They pollute people's air and contribute to health issues, and regularly breach environmental permits. #CutCarbonNotForests

We're learning so much about bioenergy - here's one of the trucks that carries trees from the forest so as they can be turned into 'sustainable' wood pellets. #CutCarbonNotForests

Here's a US pellet mill that produces biomass, which is then sent to UK power stations. Isn't it incredible that cutting down forests, turning them into pellets, shipping them thousands of miles, and setting them on fire, is completely carbon neutral?! #CutCarbonNotForests

To conclude our exploration of the amazing sustainable technology - bioenergy - here's one of the 'sustainably managed' forests the wood comes from. #CutCarbonNotForests

One of the many types of wildlife put at risk by biomass. #CutCarbonNotForests

It's far better to put effort into changing how we heat our homes and travel. But billions spent on burning trees in power stations are a waste of money. #CutCarbonNotForests bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Alex Sobel MP says he agrees with Dale Vince that the Government should stop paying Drax to burn trees. Cutting down forests to feed Drax incurs a huge carbon cost | Drax | The Guardian theguardian.com/business/2025/… #CutCarbonNotForests
