AF&PA , Washington, D.C., USA, President Donna Harman and American Wood Council (Leesburg, Va.) President Robert Glowinski issued statements after filing joint petition for review in the D.C. Circuit Court of the EPA's treatment of biomass energy in the final Clean Power Plan. According to Harman, the plan does not put biomass on a level playing field with other renewable energy sources. Glowinski said rules may place unnecessary restrictions on use of biomass energy as part of a plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from electric power generation.
