Their record over time
Southern Environmental Law Center filed 2 positions between 6 Feb 2020 and 20 Sept 2020, across 2 of the 639 legislative files tracked here, attaching a full position paper 2 times.
What they argued
This submission, on behalf of the Southern Environmental Law Center, focuses on the need to properly account for bioenergy emissions if the EU is to achieve its net-zero targets. EU climate policies, and the national policies/subsidies which stem from them, incorrectly categorize all bioenergy as carbon neutral at the point of combustion.
