Portland, Oreg\u00f3n \u2013<\/strong> La Agencia de Protecci\u00f3n Ambiental (EPA) respondi\u00f3 hoy a una solicitud del Senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley para despejar el camino para la producci\u00f3n de energ\u00eda de biomasa en Oreg\u00f3n y otros estados al anunciar que la EPA eximir\u00e1 las emisiones de carbono de las instalaciones de biomasa de la regulaci\u00f3n de la Ley de Aire Limpio por al menos menos tres a\u00f1os. Debido a que la biomasa se produce a partir de recursos renovables en los Estados Unidos, tiene un papel importante que desempe\u00f1ar en la reducci\u00f3n de la dependencia de la naci\u00f3n del petr\u00f3leo extranjero y en la lucha contra el cambio clim\u00e1tico. <\/p>\n

En una carta al Senador Merkley, la administradora de la EPA, Lisa Jackson, declar\u00f3 que la agencia diferir\u00e1 la aplicaci\u00f3n de las reglas de emisiones a las instalaciones de energ\u00eda de biomasa mientras la agencia realiza una revisi\u00f3n cient\u00edfica para determinar la mejor manera de contabilizar los beneficios ambientales del combustible de biomasa. El Senador Merkley solicit\u00f3 esta acci\u00f3n espec\u00edfica en una carta al Administrador Jackson y en el di\u00e1logo continuo con el administrador y otros altos funcionarios de la Casa Blanca durante el a\u00f1o pasado.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOregon est\u00e1 preparado para convertirse en un l\u00edder mundial en la producci\u00f3n de energ\u00eda de biomasa\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cLa decisi\u00f3n de hoy marca una victoria para las zonas rurales de Oreg\u00f3n, las comunidades madereras y el futuro de la industria en nuestro estado. El aumento de la producci\u00f3n y el uso de energ\u00eda de biomasa estadounidense de cosecha propia reducir\u00e1 nuestra dependencia del petr\u00f3leo extranjero y crear\u00e1 puestos de trabajo aqu\u00ed en Oreg\u00f3n\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

En la carta, la EPA acord\u00f3 tomar tres medidas para permitir la producci\u00f3n de combustibles de biomasa en Oreg\u00f3n:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Para el 1 de julio de 2011, la EPA planea finalizar una regla que exima las emisiones de carbono de la producci\u00f3n de energ\u00eda de biomasa de la nueva regulaci\u00f3n de la Ley de Aire Limpio por tres a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

\u2013 La EPA comenzar\u00e1 una consulta de dos a\u00f1os con cient\u00edficos y agencias federales para determinar la mejor manera de abordar la naturaleza \u00fanica de la biomasa que extrae carbono de la atm\u00f3sfera mientras crece.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Con base en esta consulta, la EPA propondr\u00e1 una pol\u00edtica permanente sobre emisiones de biomasa. La agencia planea finalizar esta pol\u00edtica para cuando expire la exenci\u00f3n de tres a\u00f1os de la regulaci\u00f3n de la Ley de Aire Limpio.<\/p>\n

Mientras tanto, en caso de que alguna instalaci\u00f3n de biomasa active las regulaciones de gases de efecto invernadero de la Ley de Aire Limpio antes del 1 de julio de este a\u00f1o, la EPA emitir\u00e1 una gu\u00eda que permita el uso de combustible de biomasa para constituir el cumplimiento de la Ley de Aire Limpio.<\/p>\n
