The easiest thing to do is to burn it into biochar and then either bury that or use it as a fertilizer on fields where it will get taken up in the soil.
There are some active land management techniques which do something similar with shrubs/plants/grasses which generate an enormous amount of soil and therefore trap a lot of carbon.
- dlazar 7y agoInteresting, I hadn't realized pyrolysis (used to produce biochar) does not release CO2. Seeing "pyro" (Greek for "fire") I had assumed oxidation. Sounds like a good technique for making the wood "indigestible" for microorganisms. I wonder if it's worth doing energywise, compared with just burying it somewhere.
