Accounting Removal from Bioenergy

Good day,

I have a question regarding NTC10 for Bioenergy Accounting. It states: “* Negative emissions due to biogenic removals shall not be accounted for in a company’s target formulation or as progress towards SBTs.”
Does this mean that I am not allowed to include negative emissions, such as removals, in my reduction pathway for biomass associated with bioenergy? Is it therefore assumed that biomass can never be carbon-neutral, even if it based on sustainable harvesting approach?

I would greatly appreciate your feedback.

Mr Jan, I agree the Bioenergy accounting you mention regarding biogenic removals doesn’t make sense.
