Law students in Amsterdam are taking on giant energy firm RWE, accusing it of greenwashing by calling biomass “climate-neutral” — a claim they say ignores the massive carbon emissions released when burning plants and animals, which can take decades to recapture. Part of a legal clinic at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, they’ve teamed up with Advocates for the Future to challenge RWE’s misleading ads, filing a complaint with the Dutch Advertising Code Committee — a body whose rulings, while not legally binding, carry serious reputational weight. RWE hasn’t officially responded yet, saying they’re awaiting formal notice, but the students are banking on the committee’s track record of holding companies accountable for vague sustainability claims.
