I'm not an expert, but presumably you need to bury wood in a sterile place so that it doesn't get eaten by bugs/microbes and turned back into greenhouse gases?

  Bury in a dry place, or under water without much oxygen. Mines could work in both cases. Basically filling up coal mines with coal again.

    So, transport the wood emitting some GHG doing it. No problems with that plan whatsoever. ;) Actually mines tend to get wet and require serious drainage (pumps) to exploit. They're only dry for the moment, over time they will become waterlogged.

      the greenhouse gases emitted by any conceivable transportation range are an order of magnitude less than those captured please do the math instead of just posting bullshit without any regard to whether it is true or false you're right about the mines tho

  Some of it will turn into gases. Some will turn into those bugs and microbes and other forms of biomass.

    > Some of it will turn into gases. Yeah, and this is definitely bad. > Some will turn into those bugs and microbes and other forms of biomass. This is the part I'm not sure about. Does this decrease the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere enough to counter said increase in greenhouse gases?

      After burying wood you are growing more wood, so yeah, as long as you are using land that wasn't forested before you are net negative
