title = "Toxic emissions and devaluated CO2-neutrality: Expanded combustion of stem wood violates sustainable development",
abstract = "Environmental, energy and climate policies need fresh reflections. In order to evaluatetoxics reduction policies the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants ismandatory. Denmark's function as lead country for dioxin research in the context of theOSPAR Convention is contrasted with a climate policy whose goals of CO2-reduction weremade operational by green-wash. Arguments are given for the devaluation of CO2-neutrality in case of burning wood. Alternative practices as storing C in high quality woodproducts and/or leaving wood in the forest are recommended.A counter-productive effect of dioxin formation in the cooling phase of wood burningappliances has been registered akin to de-novo-synthesis in municipal solid wasteincinerators. Researchers, regulators and the public are, however, still preoccupied bynotions of oven design and operation parameters, assuming that dioxin behaves on linewith other toxic pollutants from incomplete combustion. Evidence is given that this is notthe case.Societal-historical problems of lacking consistency in dioxin research are contrasted withmore sustainable approaches.",
