This podcast episode features Marcin Lewandowski, Director of Risk and Analytics at Ecostrat. After a short introduction of Marcin and his work at Ecostrat, in this podcast episode, we talk about the misconceptions with Michael Moore’s documentary, “Planet of the Humans.” We discuss the challenges in forest management with regard to environmentalism, how to develop a healthy biomass industry from an economic and policy perspective. Later, Marcin discusses how to accurately describe risk in the biomass industry, and the state of Canada’s biomass industry as compared to Germany or the US. I hope you enjoy this episode.
Marcin advises biomass project developers and investors on the availability, sustainability, and economics of forest biomass. He also has supervised the development of the Standards for Biomass Supply Chain Risk, which included over 150 stakeholders. He holds two Master’s degrees in forestry and risk, and an undergraduate degree in Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
