    @momo @thomasfuchs so this improves outcome. But pyrolysis also produces gas which is much more difficult to sequester, so it's probably put to better use as fuel, possibly directly to help perform the pyrolysis.

    Of course, that's for the long term. For the shorter to mid term, biomass carbon should be sequestered by making buildings out of wood, especially instead of making them from concrete or steel. Also a compounding effect there.

    @momo @thomasfuchs Cause photosynthesis stores carbon but then releases most of it as biomass rots. Mature forests are more or less carbon neutral, not carbon sinks.

    I'm not overly worried about deforestation from these practices, since by far the leading cause of deforestation is, per my understanding, clearing land for agriculture.
