According to The Guardian wood produces more CO2 than other combustible per unit of heat¹. It also produces as much if not more soot than burning coal and a quantity of NOx and SOx comparable to the combustion of natural gaz.² It also produces copious amount of creosote a substance known to cause cancer to workers in wood treatment facilities.³ Mature trees that have reached a slower growth phase are better used as construction material, that way the carbon is sequestered for a long time and younger faster growing trees that replace them can transform CO2 again. 1) https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/mar/01/pollutionwatch-wood-burning-is-not-climate-friendly https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/mar/01/pollutio... 2) https://wood-energy.extension.org/what-are-the-air-emissions-of-burning-wood/ https://wood-energy.extension.org/what-are-the-air-emissions... 3) https://www.epa.gov/ingredients-used-pesticide-products/creosote https://www.epa.gov/ingredients-used-pesticide-products/creo...
