Watch our recent #biomass animation to learn about the #carboncycle, and how fossil carbon is distinctly different to that released when biomass is combusted. 💭 📺 pic.twitter.com/dwSxvTjwlC

In the US South, #thinning is important to maintain healthy and productive pine #forests. 🌳 🌲

It increases future sawtimber yields, improves the forest's resilience to pests, disease and fire, and enhances wildlife habitat. 🌍 pic.twitter.com/SyRdObt43s

Our recent #biomass animation explores the #carbon cycle - what it is, what happens when there are too many carbon emissions and the opportunities for carbon removals. 🌳🍃 pic.twitter.com/HxWgAZBW7M

— Drax Group US (@DraxGroupUS) January 24, 2023

For working #forests to provide benefits to the climate, nature and local communities, they must be grown, managed, used and reforested. 🌲🌳

Our latest #biomass animation explains more - what working forests are, why they are important, and how they can be sustainably managed. pic.twitter.com/MIetpTExVs

— Drax Group US (@DraxGroupUS) January 18, 2023

Did you know that #thinning improves the overall health and vigour of working forests? By reducing the competition for resources, trees can grow bigger and stronger. 🌳 pic.twitter.com/fxwFhkYHl1

💬 Does burning #biomass produce more emissions than burning coal?

🌳 Whilst burning fossil fuels creates new emissions, the carbon released when sustainable biomass is burned has previously been absorbed from the atmosphere by #forests and will be again by growing forests. pic.twitter.com/4pNoSDRuTx

Our #biomass pellets are made from different types of #wood that can't be used by the lumber industry, including harvest residues and by-products from lumber mills. 🪵

We recently asked Joseph Aquino, our Director of Sustainability for Canada to answer some of our most frequently asked questions about #biomass. 🌿💬

In this video, he explains how it can be #sustainable to ship biomass around the world. 📺👇

How can burning #wood be sustainable? 🪵
We source our #biomass from #forests that are constantly growing and absorbing CO2. So, when biomass is used to generate energy, the CO2 released has already been absorbed by the trees and will again be by growing forests. 🌳 pic.twitter.com/SLvHkpRitu
