A logging company clear cuts an area and leaves the junk trees, and then rather than burning them or letting them rot (both of which releases carbon), they let businesses come in and chop up the wood for firewood.
I mean, simple economics would dictate that these were probably not high-quality logs. No one's going to use good trees for pellets when you could sell the logs for lumber at 5-10x the price.

Be careful. Using this much common sense can be dangerous.
