1 acre-foot = 1200 cubic meters. That amount of wood chip is needed per day per machine. So perhaps 1000 medium trees worth per day, or 10,000 small trees. If it's waste chip then might make some sense on limited scale. If the conditions inside the mud are anoxic, then the chips don't turn into CO2. It's also an alternative to wood trunks used as piles + earth/mud in between, like used in Venice. Venice is extremely dense, no space for cars or industry.
