The European Parliament’s Proposal to Phase Out Wood as an Energy Source by 2030: An Interview with Dominik Bigge

The European Parliament has proposed that wood loses its status as a renewable energy source by 2030. This could have implications for municipalities, industry and private households. We spoke to Dominik Bigge, Climate Protection Manager at the Forchheim District Office, to find out more about this potential shift from wood to hydrogen as an energy source.

Harnessing Renewable Energy

Renewable energy is energy that is generated from natural sources, such as the sun, wind, water, and geothermal heat. These sources are naturally replenished and can be used to generate electricity or to provide heating and cooling for homes and businesses. Renewable energy sources have many advantages over traditional fossil fuels, including reduced air pollution, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and greater energy security. Additionally, renewable energy technologies can create jobs in the clean energy sector while helping to reduce our dependence on non-renewable resources. Renewables are becoming increasingly cost-competitive with conventional forms of power generation, making it an attractive option for many countries around the world.
