Burning Issue

It was supposed to be the best of all worlds: renewable, clean energy from organic matter, residues mostly. But it became (also) land grabbing, nonsensical forest destruction and a festival of national subsidies that have caused more distortions you can think of. From Russia to Italy, through Germany and Romania, follow our cameramen as they document abuses, malpractice and paradoxes in the production of bioenergy.
In this documentary co-produced by BirdLife Europe and Central Asia and Transport & Environment we expose some of the distortions that have turned a solution... into a problem.
