Because is bs, pure and simple. Typical Brussels re-inventing the definition of words in order to push their political objectives.

- petre 1y agoI would agree if you'd be talking about branding gas as sustainable, which Germany actually tried before the war in Ukraine and the sabotage of the Northstream pipeline. But in this context, it's pure hogwash. Burning wood pellets is actually sustainable and renewable and has been a net win for Eastern European counrties that joined the EU, mainly because little to no sawdust is discarded into rivers and streams any longer. I remember the 2000s and before, when we hiked through the mountains: wherever there was a wood processing plant, there were also overflowing heaps of sawdust. None of that is a reality any longer, all of it is pelletized, sold and burned.
- soco 1y agoThe issue with Eastern European woods is that they're being razed - for pellets, furniture, you name it. And rarely replaced. So yes in some places you'll have new growth, but most places there's soil washing and flash floods and destroyed habitats and all that. Is that renewable? Hardly.
