Burned + Q&A

Certificate

Running Time
44 mins

“Are trees the new coal?” asks this award-winning documentary that tells the little-known story of the accelerating destruction of our forests for fuel, and probes the policy loopholes, huge subsidies, and blatant greenwashing of the burgeoning biomass electric power industry. The film focuses on the cutting of forests in the southeastern US, which are then shipped to Europe to be burned primarily in the Drax power station in North Yorkshire, the largest biomass power station in the world.
