RWE Burns Malaysian Forest Wood for Energy While Labelling It Sustainable
Energy producer RWE continues to burn large amounts of wood from deforested Malaysian areas in Dutch power plants.
KEY POINTS
- RWE burns large amounts of wood in Dutch power plants
- Logging damages Malaysian forests
- Dutch Emissions Authority found inconsistencies
- Regulator still labels the wood sustainable
Energy producer RWE burns large-scale amounts of wood in Dutch power plants. This logging activity heavily impacts and damages Malaysian forests.
Despite the clear environmental damage, energy companies and regulators maintain specific classifications for this fuel. The Dutch Emissions Authority itself established that the situation was incorrect.
However, the Dutch regulator still awards the official sustainable label to the imported wood. This allows the controversial biomass burning to continue under official approval.
