For the first time, #solar power was 🇵🇹 Portugal’s main source of electricity in July. Last month, renewable sources accounted for 53% of consumption, with solar providing 19% of that energy, followed by #hydro, #wind, and #biomass.

📢 NEW policy brief: Strategic biomass use can strengthen Europe's resilience , drive innovation and cut emissions.
🌿 #Biomass is a limited yet crucial resource for Europe's competitiveness, resilience and climate neutrality. However today, it is still used predominantly for energy applications, despite alternatives being available in many sectors. 1/x

Sustainable Electronics? Compostable Circuit Boards Made from Citric Acid Production Waste
Printed circuit boards are typically made of glass fiber-reinforced fossil epoxy resin, making them difficult to reuse. A team from TU Freiberg has now presented a fully compostable alternative made from the mycelium of the Aspergillus niger fungus, a byproduct of industrial citric acid production.

Large polluting industries (#biomass, #aviation, #fossils, #Microsoft etc) are lobbying the most to weaken UN rules for permanent carbon removals. These are activities supposed to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, but it is expensive to do it for real so they are lobbying to be able to pretend doing it rather than actually doing it.

'When I first became involved in advocating for eastern #tarakihi in 2019, #Fisheries New Zealand’s own #science estimated the eastern stock had fallen to around 16% of its unfished #biomass—well below the 20% soft limit and nowhere near the #Harvest Strategy Standard target of 40%.
'Six years later, we’re paying substantially more at the checkout, yet the eastern stock remains well under a rebuilding-plan target.
'Recent projections suggest it is still hovering around the lower management thresholds, with recovery far from assured under current catch settings.
'That should concern every New Zealander.
We’ve somehow normalised the idea that a fish can become increasingly expensive while remaining chronically depleted. Consumers are paying more, commercial operators continue #fishing, and we’re repeatedly told the #fishery is being managed “#sustainably”.'If this is what #sustainability looks like, perhaps we need to rethink what the word means.
'A truly #sustainable fishery shouldn’t require decades of rebuilding while the stock remains well below the level our own management system says it should achieve. It shouldn’t leave us debating whether 10–20% of the original spawning biomass is acceptable, and it most certainly shouldn’t have us celebrating modest improvements while remaining nowhere near the target.'
.....
'Perhaps the real question isn’t why the price has risen, it’s whether we’ve convinced ourselves that #depletion has become an acceptable definition of sustainability.

#Biomass is organic matter derived from plants and animals—such as wood, agricultural crops, and waste—that can be burned directly for heat or converted into #Renewable #Biofuels and #Biogas.

@ChrisMayLA6, Can I not get you to see that #economic #growth is, while essential to #capitalism, ultimately doomed? We live on a #finite #planet, with finite #resources, & a finite #capacity to absorb our #waste & #pollution, not to mention our ever-expanding #population. The majority of the Earth's #biomass is taken up by #humanity & its #agriculture. The result is #climatechange & #biodiversity #loss. There is no "decoupling" of growth from #carbon #emissions, & #Green capitalism is fantasy.

With NGOs from all over the world, we wrote to the political leadership of the EU Commission to urge them to phase out wood burning incentives in EU legislation.
This is a once-in-a-decade opportunity to correct the single largest anomaly in EU energy & climate policy that has subsidised for years the overgrowth of #biomass at the detriment of #forests, the #climate, public #health and the energy security of people still relying on wood to heat their homes.

From #Arctic heat to #megafires, #WMO report shows climate change completely reshaping #Europe
By Andrei Ionescu, 6/2/2026
"In the far north, climate change is not some distant warning anymore. It is already reshaping the landscape.
"Across Alaska and Canada, Arctic and boreal regions are warming up to four times faster than the global average.
"That puts a huge amount of pressure on #ecosystems that have long helped slow climate change by pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and storing it in #trees, #shrubs, and #soil.
When forests stop helping"The trouble is, those ecosystems do not always stay helpful under stress.
"As wildfires grow more intense, drought becomes more common, and other disturbances spread, parts of the north may start giving #carbon back to the atmosphere instead of locking it away.
"Once that happens, the whole climate system becomes harder to stabilize.
"That is why scientists care so much about #biomass, the total amount of living plant material across these landscapes."
