Aren’t you speeding up the carbon cycle by burning wood for heat instead of letting them decay naturally?
99+% of stored wood energy that could be used for biomass heating is wasted in forest fires and controlled burns as you read this. Diverting more of these ongoing forest processes for wood heating is simply providing an alternate and greener way of removing wasted energy from the forests. At some point when wood heating consumes more wood annually than wild fires, slash burning, controlled burning and wood decomposition, the carbon cycle could be accelerated by the planting of trees specifically for wood heating.
