U.S. EPA Defers Regulating Biomass Emissions

By Greg Russell

U.S. EPA has announced that it is going to defer greenhouse gas permitting requirements for biomass-fired and other biogenic sources to promote them as an energy source.  "'We are working to find a way forward that is scientifically sound and manageable for both producers and consumers of biomass energy. In the coming years we will develop a commonsense approach that protects our environment and encourages the use of clean energy,' said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. 'Renewable, homegrown power sources are essential to our energy future, and an important step to cutting the pollution responsible for climate change.'"  (Emphasis is ours.)  Such as natural gas?
