'Energy independent' #Uruguay runs on 100% renewables for 10 straight months
theprogressplaybook.com/2023/1 “#Renewables alone have powered the Uruguayan economy for 10 straight months.

Between 1 July 2023 and end-April 2024, the South American nation generated all of its electricity from #hydro, #wind, #bioenergy and #solar

Hydroelectric plants comprised 42.9% of the total mix, followed closely by wind farms at 40.6%. Bioenergy (12.9%) and solar (3.5%) accounted for the remainder.”

Team cracks genomic code for earliest forms of terrestrial plant life

An international team has sequenced the genomes the closest relatives of land #plants

This breakthrough illuminates how early plants adapted to terrestrial environments 550 million years ago, paving the way for all land-based life, including humans. The findings offer insights into plant evolution & potential applications in #bioenergy & climate resilience.

Burning #wood, capturing the resulting CO2 & burying it underground, aka #bioenergy with #carbon capture & storage (#BECCS) is often presented as a "solution" for "negative emissions".

But "there’s nothing about taking the decades-old carbon stored in a tree and parking it belowground that will deliver “negative emissions”.
...
In fact, promoting the logging of more forests will possibly increase CO2 emissions, because logging causes forest ecosystems to leak carbon."

Whether the context is #health or #ClimateChange, burning #coal or #wood have generally the same negative effects [1,2]

Unfortunately, the #EU declared #biofuels to be carbon-neutral, triggering a surge in wood use [2] & many professed environmentalists promote burning wood because they have a personal attachment to the activity
