And yeah, this is actually a huge bonus for carbon capture!
- nashashmi 7y agoThen it will be great to constantly log them down and sell them as carbon credit.
- tylerhou 7y agoTo sell them as carbon credits, you’d have to bury the logs or something — otherwise they might burn, or their mass would be absorbed by other animals/fungi/bacteria which would eventually convert the carbon into CO2.
- LeoPanthera 7y agoI beleive the traditional solution is to turn them into furniture. Or houses! Building with farmed wood is very eco friendly since it produces a negative amount of CO2.
- bufferoverflow 7y agoThat just delays the CO2 release. Furniture breaks. Houses get old and get demolished. Even if it takes 100 or 500 years, it will happen. You need to store wood long-term somehow. Or burn it and store CO2 underground, turning it into rock.
- kpennell 7y agoTrue. But if we could buy a couple hundred years, that would be amazing with the timescales we're looking at now.
