I never got this argument. Wood is already sequesters carbon. So making stuff out of wood is not sequestering more carbon. it is just cutting down more large forest so smaller forests can grow, and they in turn don't take as much CO2 out of the air until they are grown to the same size.
Burning biomass instead of coal for the same reasons seems stupid to me. Like lets burn inefficient coal precursors instead of coal. Doesn't move the needle much in my opinion, with the argument being the trees grow back in 30 years.
