Nearly half of Senate writes urging for streamlined support for forest bioenergy

In Washington, nearly half of the US Senate has written to the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of Energy and the EPA administrator strongly urging the agencies to streamline support of biomass for energy across all agencies, providing policies that work to ensure more use of sustainable biomass energy rather than the complicated policy framework that can contradict itself and create investment uncertainty as is the case now. The letter especially pushes for recognition of carbon neutrality of forest biomass and forestry residues.
