The pellets come from managed forests. Typically around 7 trees are planted for each harvested. The carbon emitted from the burning of the pellets is absorbed by the tree while it matures. These trees generally have ~10 year lifespans. If there were no productive use for the trees, the land would be taxed by the government anyways, the trees cut down permanently and the land would be used for ranching or farming.
