Biofuelwatch offers information support to national and local organisations campaigning – or considering campaigning against – destructive biomass projects anywhere in Europe.

Over the past year, we have been campaigning with numerous different groups against Drax and Lynemouth Power Stations, as well as working with German NGOs and grassroots groups against biomass plant proposals in Hamburg, Cuxhaven, Stade, Berlin, Leipzig, Chemnitz and elsewhere. Some of those campaigns we have supported have been concluded successfully – above all in Hamburg, where plans for a coal-to-biomass conversion were cancelled in December 2024. We have also been supporting campaigners in France, Portugal, Estonia, Croatia and other European countries.
We can help with information about the impacts of specific biomass power and heat plants and related infrastructure (such as pellet plants). We may be able to offer support with building local campaigns, networking between different local groups with a range of experiences, with information about relevant UK or EU (e.g. Air Quality or Environmental Impact Assessment regulations).
If there’s a biomass or biofuel (bioliquid) power plant proposed or one has been built near where you live and you’d like to know more, please email us: biofuelwatch@gmail.com.
