UK “climate” aid helped build carbon capture schemes on occupied East Turkistan, enhancing China’s ability to exploit the resources of our occupied country while our people faced genocide and forced labor. The ETGE condemns this UK complicity and demands justice & accountability. @perkin_amalaraj

In an in depth and important analysis by The Times, Bertie Harrison-Broninski - a journalist at Land and Climate Review- opens up the UK-Chinese links over carbon capture technology, including CCP influence over current UK energy infrastructure, and his discovery that UK aid grants from 2016-2018 funded work in Xinjiang: See thetimes.com/article/d012d46…  Longer analysis here: landclimate.org/xinjiang-ccu… @Ed_Miliband @MPIainDS @YvetteCooperMP @pritipatel @DrCalumMiller @TomTugendhat @aliciakearns @SarahChampionMP In line with the Great British Energy Act of 2025 we need much more transparency and scrutiny of energy projects in Xinjiang - where the CCP stands accused of genocide and slave labour by @HouseofCommons @HumanRightsCtte @JChengWSJ

🇬🇧UK funding of carbon capture projects in East Turkistan (2016–2018) is deeply alarming. At the height of mass detention of Uyghurs, aid may have supported state-linked industries—while the same tech was used to boost oil extraction. thetimes.com/uk/science/arti…

Drax Group's takeover of Canadian wood pellet mills has revealed a distressing pattern: 189 environmental infractions since 2012. From polluted rivers to ignored emissions limits, these revelations underscore the complexities of biomass energy. landclimate.org/drax-mills/

From Canada to Alabama, the wood pellet industry harms our forests and communities. Thank you to @LandClimate for exposing Drax and their burning of rare Canadian forests for profit in this piece from @BBCNewsNight.
Drax is the UK's largest recipient of green subsidies for biomass. They've been under particular focus as this year the BBC reported it had burned wood from rare forests in Canada. Now, #Newsnight's @katelamble has seen evidence of almost 200 environmental breaches at the mills which turn wood, headed to Drax, into pellets.
