Small-scale #biomass #CHP in remote communities: technically promising yet constrained by policy misalignment: link incentives with local needs for durable socioeconomic and environmental benefits https://t.co/xjmGAsgrwu @UBCForestry @UBC, @UniEastFinland @FPInnovations & @NRCan

🌿New publication about mangrove carbon research! Our data descriptor integrates field data across Panama’s Pacific coast with remote sensing to advance landscape-scale carbon mapping capabilities.

Excited to announce our latest publication in Scientific Data! We show how geomorphic settings drive variability in mangrove and peatlands soil carbon in Panama, with useful insights for climate mitigation, MRV, and carbon credits. #BlueCarbon #Mangroves

@nntaleb (I honestly first thought it was Gracián, which I know better, but it is earlier, but similarly connected to the Spanish aphoristic tradition. But in Spain is known Seneca had a huge influence on the scholars of the Siglo de Oro, that Quevedo considers "nuestro cordobés")

One of the best news of these weeks is that the @Erasmus_Mundus programme European Forestry has received a continuanion funding once again. It started in 2002, probably being the longest continuous international education programme in forestry!

#Biofuels policy in the #BioEast region:
95% of decision-makers favour domestic biomass,
2/3 prioritise waste streams,
policies must match existing fleets,
yet national priorities differ!

Biomass CHP in remote communities? small-scale system slashed GHG emissions by 1,100 tCO₂e/year, cut fuel costs by 2/3, and boosted local jobs 5-fold; yet policy misalignment stopped it #bioenergy & #justtransition.

Spent coffee grounds can be a source of biofuels. Once again, hydrothermal liquefaction makes wonders and yields crude bio‑oil out of waste. A tasty waste‑to‑energy win! ☕ #Bioenergy #CircularEconomy

Our study of 426 000 plantation systems in Europe shows that can boost land-use diversity. Lots of data available! https://t.co/HFqcQg3i8M

Is Finland's forest legislation ready for climate change? Finland’s forest legislation is regarded as an example but our review shows that the legal framework relies heavily on a “business-as-usual” approach. @metsakeskus #UEF https://t.co/DGgW1M0VU0
