Romanians may be required to heat their homes “only with certified biomass”

The Romanian Parliament may pass a bill that would allow only “certified biomass” to be used for heating homes and other domestic purposes. That is, sawdust, wood shavings, and other wood waste, but not logs or firewood.

In Romania, 3.5 million homes—housing about 8 million people—are heated with firewood; this accounts for about 85% of the country’s rural housing stock. The passage of this bill leaves few alternatives for energy supply, except for electricity at one of the highest prices in Europe.

“AUR will not vote for this bill; it will push Romanians into even greater energy poverty,” agrointelegența quotes Călin Matieș, a member of parliament from that party, as saying.
