The Bioenergy Association says the forestry slash causing havoc on the East Coast could have been slashing the country’s carbon emissions.

Bioenergy executive officer Brian Cox says the slash washing down Tairāwhiti’s swollen rivers could have been part of the feedstock to create fuel to drive the country’s hard to abate sectors such has heavy transport and aviation.
