The CO2 in wood comes from the atmosphere recently, while the CO2 in coal came from the prehistoric atmosphere. That's an improvement. That's also how biofuels work. Wood is a renewable resource when managed sustainably, and carbon neutral.
How practical it is, is another matter entirely.
- Pfhreak 6y agoWood can even be carbon negative if you bury a portion of the biochar. Obviously, there's some challenges in scaling a biochar industry in terms of space, efficiency, etc., but it is possible.
