PEI's Forestry Commission has released recommendations on the biomass sector.
"I appreciate the diligence of the commission in recognizing that recent developments in the biomass sector needed urgent analysis and I am reviewing their recommendations with department staff. I share the commission's belief that we need to better define biomass and how it fits in with our provincial Net Zero goals."
- Environment, Energy and Climate Action Minister Steven Myers
The 13-member Forestry Commission was appointed by the minister to assist in developing a forest recovery plan and a new forest policy for the province. The Commission began its work in February 2023 and has held several meetings and field trips as part of a process of learning about PEI's private and public forests, the forest industry, and government's role in encouraging best practices.
