Forests hold carbon. Both in the trees and even more so in the soils and other forest plants. Forests clean carbon from the air. Chopping down forests prematurely releases carbon from the slash left over as it decays. Even a sixty year hold forest will take another 60 years to do the job it is doing right now. Turning the trees into pellets and burning it is only one part of a very stupid way of producing energy in a climate crisis!
