The carbon sink or energy
crop question
As a final and more general environmental point on this topic, as
was mentioned earlier, the realisation has been growing that using biomass in a
balanced way, combining its undoubted value as a carbon sink with a progressive
substitution for fossil fuels, has certain clear advantages over the
sequestration-only option. Energy crop production is based on a sustainable
cycle which brings benefits to the soil as well as both local biodiversity and
the local economy. Land bound up in carbon sinks does not offer appreciable
employment; energy-farmed biomass crops can support jobs, both directly and
indirectly within the region, which has evident importance for rural
diversification, itself a major countryside issue.
