But but all the leftovers are not necessarily burned down. Some of it is (that's where most pellets come from I believe), some is left in nature and becomes part of soil, some is reused in particle board.
I don't know about the carbon impact of what goes back in nature, some is decomposed by bacteria, some just stay there, some may act as a fertilizer, I don't think it is bad.
- Maakuth 3y agoExposed wood in the ground doesn't last long, if it does become part of the soil the carbon will escape into the atmosphere. The branches in cold climate might take a decade to decompose, but those too will end up releasing carbon quite soon. It is true that nature takes care of it, so it's not a waste problem like plastic is, but carbon-wise this part of wood stops storing not long after the tree is cut.
