Good questions! The end use of the wood depends on the location of the pilot project and how close it is to a mill. Given the duration of our pilot projects, the trees will be too large to be used for anything outside of saw timber for furniture of construction. We don't allow for our seedlings to be used for pulp / paper in our landowner agreements. Decay can also refer to the decay of wood products etc. One of the biggest issues with forest carbon in general is the duration in which the CO2 can be stored before it is released back into the atmosphere. While trees have the benefit of being able to be planted right now at scale, climate change is a problem of relative rates. Currently, trees do lack the ability to store carbon for thousands of years underground. Of course you can coppice and keep replanting them post harvest but there will be some carbon returned to the atmosphere even if all your timber goes to wood products that have a long lifespan. Trees can't solve climate change on their own but they can quickly remove carbon in a low cost way buying ourselves more time to scale up other types of CDR solutions.
