How much was from burning wood?
In the UK, some coal plants converted to burning wood, and importing scrap wood long distances, such as from the US.
This is not sustainable.

To quote the BBC:
"In response to the latest findings by the BBC, Drax admitted it has taken wood from old-growth forests. But it told Panorama that 77% of the material for its Canadian wood pellets came from sawdust and sawmill residues, with the rest coming from forestry residues and low-grade logs."
So the UK government is, IMO, full of bullshit on this one but it shouldn't dampen our spirits - the news is very good excluding this one blemish.
From Western Canada too, and it isn't scrap. It's good timber that could otherwise be milled into lumber.
