under international rules the UK doesn't have to count these emissions.
And yet all emissions from a farm are counted as emissions. They get to not count them on the basis that the trees are cycling carbon, but farms can’t. And that’s without even considering cyclical methane.
It’s all utterly fekked up.

oh, but it could.....Way to HMG. Let’s export environmental problems using taxpayers funds. Absolutely could not happen with food.UK power station still burning rare forest wood - BBC News

"farming industry to receive £6bn in SFI payments over next 3 years whilst food is imported to make up the shortfall"
Meanwhile the supermarkets, through GFC, can demonstrate a reduction in their scope 3 emissions so that they can meet their legal obligations....
...and carry on as normal.
Sooner or later these scams will be exposed just as ppi was, I have a nasty feeling that farmers selling carbon credits to business will get caught up in it, the supermarkets have huge power with the media due to the advertising budget but eventually one journalist will get involved and the whole pack of cards will tumble down, maybe the time is now.oh, but it could.....

They are already exposed. Hiding in plain sight. The whole idea of “carbon offsetting” is to perpetuate the use of fossil fuel. That’s why the great and the good traveled to the United Arab Emirates to discuss the evils of livestock production by private jet. Incidentally air travel doesn’t count, neither do military emissions, so fighting for oil is also acceptable. Perhaps this thread should be deleted? It’s just an exercise in stating the blindingly obvious.
Drax helps the UK government meet its climate targets because, on paper at least, the power station is treated as emission-free. This is because international carbon accounting rules state that greenhouse gas emissions from burning wood are counted in the country where the trees are felled as opposed to where they are burned.
The people who come up with these bonkers rules have power over us all. Terrifying.

And the carbon from food production and processing will all be bounced to farmers if we aren't careful
