European home heating using wood pellets is an environmental disaster. Cut down trees in North America, grind them into pellets, pack them in shipping containers, ship them to Europe, and burn them in low efficiency furnaces with zero carbon capture and high particulate and sulfur dioxide emissions. It's probably even worse than home heating using unprocessed wood, due to the massive amount of energy consumed in processing and transportation. If we can't at least point capture stacks at the individual home level, then forget atmospheric capture.
