I think Peter was saying you should be a bit more vocal about biomass not being a solution for decarbonisation. Just another one to add to all the myths out there. You do a great job. Does feel like domestic wood burning is ignored, because people like a pretty flame!
That was exactly what I was trying to say, Mike. I'm not a native English speaker, so sorry if it wasn’t clear.
Some people have zero alternatives to wood heat, there is no power where I live in Canada so it's wood or gas (solar not so great in the winter), the devils choice
Yep, there are a few places in the world where people need to burn wood. I'm in the UK. Here there are 8% of homes that have wood burners, 95% of which have other sources of heating. Wood burning should be reduced so the only people burning are doing it for necessity and not aesthetics.
In short: Jan, known as the ‘heat-pump evangelist,’ blocked me after I asked him why he never addresses the pollution caused by wood-burning stoves. Perhaps I struck a nerve...
People play different roles and have different expertise. I focus only on part of the problem and the solution as it is impossible to do it all.
Great self awareness!
