    You gotta sequester the carbon by harvesting the trees and then either building stuff (like buildings or furniture, not disposable goods) with them or burying/sinking them in anaerobic conditions so they can’t decompose.

        Biochar is cool and all, but it’s still not as good as preserving the wood completely intact. The article you cited itself says “it is predicted that at least 50% of the carbon in any piece of waste turned into biochar becomes stable,” which is quite a bit less than 100%.

        I suppose it’s good for the twigs and other leftovers that aren’t even good enough to be made into OSB or MDF panels.
