As an association, AQPER promotes various channels. Firstly, if forest residues were not collected, this would have consequences in terms of greenhouse gas capture. Secondly, it could contribute to forest fires, which would have consequences for caribou in the long term.
For our part, we're looking to put these forest residues to good use, for example to produce biofuels that can be used in the energy transition. As we all know, the energy transition cannot be based on electrons alone. Bioenergy will also be needed for sectors that cannot be decarbonized using electricity.
